The red swelling is a broad term and can be due to various reasons like cavity which has extended to pulp and the infection has reached in the bone area which is trying to come out from gum area, or due to trauma/ ulceration / gingivitis/ periodontitis and much more.
It is advisable not to try the antibiotics on your own if not prescribed by the professional.
