How To Treat My Swollen Gums?

Hi there, I have swollen gums on the right side of my mouth, I can't sleep unless I take medication.
I had a tooth removed from that area 2 years ago. I swear to you, I was hurting around the area of the missing tooth. The pain is unbelievable. No tooth from that side looks visibly damaged.
Any thoughts?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the pain could be because of the gum infection but that will not be too severe it causes dull pain. or it can be because of any left out root pieces of the tooth which was removed 2 years back. or any infection from the neighbor tooth. take a radiograph of the affected region that rules out the above said problems. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
