Your gums are swollen and inflammed due to accumalation of hard deposits called tartar which won't come off by regular brushing.
You need to visit a dentist and get teeth cleaning done also called scaling. Sometimes your doctor may advise deep scaling also.
Mouthwash/ brushing won't help now. Removal of this tartar is important.

Locally apply, METROGYL DG gel, 3-4 times/day, with ear bud, keep applied for 2-3 mins, meanwhile spit out the saliva which accumulates in your mouth, do not touch with the area with your tongue and rinse thoroughly. Do not eat for next 20 minutes.
