RI or mouth rot concerns

Looking for anyone on here who’s run into a similar issue, I’ve been having a pretty consistent problem with my boy for about 2-3 months now. He has some puffy gums as shown in picture. No drooling, minimal saliva, he doesn’t wheeze, never lethargic, he eats great, and I cannot figure out what’s causing it! He was initially treated 3 months ago with a light round of antibiotics, assuming it was a minor RI. Swelling went down briefly but came back. I returned for a follow up visit 2 weeks ago and we did another check, opened his mouth, nothing crazy abnormal. He’s been on a round of antibiotic and anti inflammatory injections, and I was seeing immediate progress but I’m nearing the end of the meds and it’s seemed to spike up again. His temps, humitity, and substrate all appear perfect, I’m wondering could it be an impacted tooth? Anybody else seen this??
