It is a periodontal abscess. Please take an OPG, confirm it and if she doesn't have any systemic disease, please go for extraction.

Hello,
It's seen clearly that there is sinus opening near molar. Get an opg done. There is generalised gum inflammation normal gums don't look so swelled. There are lots of stains present on teeth..
I would just to get the pus drained from molar region after seeing problem is periapical or periodontal which opg will rule out then go or a mouth cleaning it's must.
As I can see there is generalised attrition present a full mouth rehabilitation can be done to save the rest of the tooth and if any habit or tobacco or pan or anything as such if present must be stopped

It seems to be hard tissue swelling .In Long standing and chronic cases we don't get pain but as a sinus is present, we need to find out wheter it is periapical or periodontal, soft tissue swelling or hard tissue swelling . Ask ur dentist for an iopa and opg and an occlusal view . U can upload d picks of both then we can guide u further .
