Thanks for using Health care magic.
Read your query.You have not mentioned who removed the chip.
I would advise you to visit your dentist and have clear diagnosis and get the treatment done,it looks like you have developed an abscess and oraljel will not help you if that"s the case
For the pain you can take pain killer(ibuprofen),do chlorhexidine mouth wash gargles.
Hope this was beneficial.
Thanks and regards.
