Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The ulcers, swollen gums can be a herpetic gingivostomatitis (herpes virus infection) or aphthous stomatitis that occurs most often secondary to stress.
If it is traumatic ulcer or herpetic ulcer. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated.
Mean while you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like anabel gel. apply 3-4 times daily before food.
If it is aphthous ulcer you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.
Do saline gargling. If the lesion does not heal in 5-7 days then consult a oral physician and get it examined.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
