What Caues Inflammation Inside The Lower Lip?

Hi,
The tissue connecting my lower lip to my gums has become inflamed and very sore. It has been about a week now. I am a 22 year old male and am just getting over a cold. What is this tissue called? What can be the reason for this soreness? And what can I do to make it better?

Thank you!
