Hello dear, infection of the gums could be due to oral hygiene issues, lodgement of foreign materials , infection spread from the tooth or multiple other reasons. This can be confirmed only on examination by a dentist and through x-rays. I suggest u visit a Periodontist soon whereby your problem can be resolved.
Next Steps
kindly visit a Periodontist close to where you reside
