Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Swollen and bleeding gums with pain and ulcers on tongue can be due to viral Infection..

It can also be due to allergies..

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

If Allergic reaction is suspected you can be advised antiallergic medication, Steroid shot and warm saline gargles..
Gargles with 1:1 solution of milk of magnesia and benadryl can help..
Do cool compresses over the gums..
Do antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
Use soft toothbrush to brush your teeth..

If it is due to Viral infection antiviral medication like Acyclovir can be advised..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
