Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
There can be two reasons for this gum and face swelling and spot. First it can be possible that the tooth might be infected of that region, which has formed an abscess in the apex and a swelling with collection of pus. For this you have to go for root canal treatment of tooth as medications can not relieve it.
Second it can be possible that there is an abscess of gums called as gingival abscess, for this also you have to visit a dentist.
Hope it will help you.
