Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain headache, sore throat and swollen gums seems to be due to bacterial infection in throat which is also causing infection in the vocal cords leading to horse voice [Laryngitis].
You should take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, warm saline gargles, throat lozenges and chew a vitamin C pellet daily..
Take plenty of fluids and sip on warm water throughout the day..
Massage your gums using an antimicrobial ointment for relief..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
