thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling on gums and soreness on the palate could be secondary to gum infection or tooth infection consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out these two. if there is gum infection get your teeth cleaned and if there is tooth infection then get root canal treatment done. you can take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and metronidazole combination. do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you take care.
