Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Swollen gums can be because of infection, improper oral hygiene, hormonal changes, use of certain medications.
I would suggest you to consult to a Dentist and get a checkup done, go for complete mouth scaling and polishing.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Take care!
