As you mentioned you have problem of sore throat and pain while swallowing a food that may be because of gastroesophageal reflux problem or esophagitis or diverticula or other reasons.
Consult a ENT specialist for further diagnosis. Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems. Laryngoscopy examination helpful for diagnosis.. Barium swallow for further diagnosis.
For gum swelling find a reason behind it... If it is because of acid reflux than treatment of it help. Consult a dentist for oral examination .
I hope my guidance helpful to you.. Get well soon.. Thank you.
