nyuszisie,

The puffy feeling could be inflammation within the tissue which may not make the gums appear to look swollen. The inflammation could also be higher up than the gums.

If you are not getting any worse over the next couple of days and then things start to improve that is normal. If things get worse over the next couple of days or you develop new symptoms then see the OS.

I appreciated your answers so much, thank you Bryanna !
