What Causes Swelling & Soreness In The Mouth & Gums?

I just had an endoscopy with ultrasound done yesterday. After the procedure was done the back of my roof in my mouth was really sore. Today when I woke up the swelling moved to my whole roof of my mouth. Tonight my gums are swollen as well. It seems to be getting worse as the hours go on. The pain is extremely bad and it spreads to my nose, ears and eyes with a headache. What caused this to happen and what should I do about it. I tried calling the GI today but did not receive a call back.
