Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.
As you mentioned you have problem of broken tooth ...
Infection of that broken tooth lead to swelling of gums...
Abscess or periodontal abcess may lead to problem...
Before diagnose any thing first consult a dentist for oral examination ...
X ray of affected tooth is helpful for further diagnosis..
Infection of tooth is present than antibiotics course helpful...
If tooth is broken and not save by rct than extraction can done...

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
