Your complaints are not elaborate. Therefore I guess that you are suffering from a gum abscess. For a thorough insight I request you to Practo Consult with all the details.

Hi
The gum bleeding and swelling over that is all due to lot of accumulation of tartar(dirt). Immediately do general cleaning followed by gum astringent (gum paint) and a mouth rinse as 1st regimen . Later we need to assess whether it requires deep cleaning (curettage).

This seems related to a tooth. Could be a periapical abscess. Get an X-ray done and the tooth should be treated accordingly.
