Hi
Thanks for writing in.
Swollen gums occur due to deposition of calculus.
Go for scaling of teeth.
Complete course of antibiotic.
Do warm saline rinses.
Visit your dentist for further treatment plan.

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Please note that sudden sore throat could be due to many reasons like viral infection or can be dental causes too.
But it would be nice if you mention,in case you have associated fever too?
For now you can do warm saline rinses until the cause diagnosed.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
