Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Swelling in the gums indicate infection, this could also be from an infected tooth.
I would suggest you to get a complete examination done.
Go for complete mouth scaling and polishing.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Take care!
