What Causes Swollen Roof Of The Mouth And Change In The Gum Color?

the roof of my mouth is swollen behind my front teeth and my gums have changed color. They are a light pink in that area and really tender. I was using a strong mouthwash and I seemed to notice this change after. It has been a couple of months since I used the mouthwash, but I still have the problem.
