You must visit a gum specialist to get your gums checked. Is the swelling in relation to a single tooth or many teeth. Are you diabetic? Plz mention about these things.

You will need to see a dentist to make sure the cause of the swelling has gone away. Medicines or antibiotics can give you relief for a few weeks, but there might be damage happening Inder the level of the gum. Will be a good idea to meet a dentist and rule any other problem out. Most likely a round of dental cleaning/scaling will take care of the problem.
