HMMM: Probably not however you may have food caught in the area that is healing so see your dentist and rinse rinse rinse with warm salty water after eating to remove any food debris as well as gently brushing the area.

Very unlikely: But it could have become inflamed or infected. Therefore, have your dentist take a look at the area as part of routine aftercare.
