thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swollen gums could be because of the gum infection and hurting throat could be a bacterial infection. the swollen gums can be treated by cleaning teeth and maintaining the oral hygiene after that. throat infection can be treated by taking a course of antibiotics. do saline gargling. consult your oral physician and get treament and prescription. i hope my answer will help you.
