Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
It seems that there is infection on extracted teeth and spreading to gums causing gingivitis.
This infection caused infected swollen lymph nodesgiving this problem.
Consult dentist and get examined.
One course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines will give you total relief.
Do Listerine gargles.
Keep oral hygiene clean.
ok and bye.
