Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms red gums with teeth hurting is a sign of gum inflammation due to bacterial infection and the condition is known as Gingivitis.

Taking medication alone will not completely resolve the infection and you should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and in case of gingivitis Scaling of teeth followed by Anitbiotics like Amoxicillin and Metronidazole and anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and gum paint application can resolve the problem..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
