Hello,

Read your query , as you have swollen and painful gum with yellowish layer this can be due to periodontal problem due to deposition of subgingival food debris plaque and calculus in subgingival areas of gums I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for oral prophyalis and oral examination .
Inmeantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.

Hope this will help you.
