Swollen gums is a sign of gum disease or problem. Get it checked by a dentist or periodontist (gum specialist). A gum swelling that comes and goes intermittently could be an abscess. Please get it checked along with a tooth X-ray. Depending on that, first you will need a basic deep teeth cleaning and later further treatment based on the X-ray and clinic check up (if required).
Next Steps
Visit a dentist/periodontist

Get a dental check up. It is recommended that everyone get scaling and polishing ( cleaning of teeth) done at least once a year to prevent gum disease
