you need to be more specific regarding the swelling is localized or generalized , does it bleed, the region and is it increasing in size also specify the size and if possible u can email me a picture of the swelling at dradarshdesai@yahoo.co.uk and it is best you consult a local dentist ..wish u a early recovery
take care

Good Day
Swelling in the gums may be due to chronic infection due to bad oral hygiene. You need to take oral antibiotics, but first get examined by a Dentist. Don't worry treatment can be done. you will be fine.

Swelling in the gums can be because of many reasons, such as:
a dental infection, traumatic injury, a constant source of irritation in the mouth and many more. what has caused a swelling in your case must be ruled out after proper examination.
if you have a decayed tooth adjacent to the swelling most probably the cause is a periapical infection (infection below the tooth- caused by decay).
you must visit the dentist at the earliest ans get an x ray done. it will help the dentist to localize the cause of swelling and treat it accordingly. please do not delay as the condition can worsen. it seems you have already delayed it by a month.
