Hello ...
its best treated by operculectomy and oral antibiotics
since u can not undergo the surgical removal of the flap tissue, try good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, use dental floss,make the area free of debris also use Chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily... allow the mouthwash to go through and through the area to clean up. After using the mouthwash(do not swallow) , don't rinse mouth with water or eat /drink anything for 30 mins. after 30 mins rinse with water.
hope this help
Thank u
