Hello and welcome to HCM forum,

swollen gums are due to gingivitis.

Such gum infection usually occurs due to-

Poor oral hygiene maintenance.
Periodontal abscess developed due to pocket and subgingival plaque accumulated.
Deep dental caries causing periapical infection.
Traumatic injury.
pericoronitis.
I would suggest you to get a thorough scaling done.
Abscess if present has to be drained through access opening.
Infected pulp has to be removed.
Root canal treatment/extraction of tooth has to be done if required,

Maintain good oral hygiene.
Take care
