Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Many a times inflamed gum can occur due to deep accumulation of tartar and plaque that is deep on the roots of teeth that is subgingival area..
It is not visible with naked eye but can cause infection and inflammation of gum which in-turn produce symptoms like gum bleeding and swollen gum..
Many a times gum swelling can be a side effect of any medicine intake or hormonal imbalances..
So first of all get a deep scaling and currettage done followed by a short script of antibiotics like Metronidazole and do antiseptic gum paint massage..
Do warm saline gargles and also antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
Hopefully the gum swelling will get better..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
