Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like gum Infection and due to Infection there is fever and headache..
There is also a possibility of some foreign body impaction in localised area of gum that is causing infection and inflammation..

So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist and get evaluated..

A clinical examination and x ray can help in confirmation of the cause..

For now you can take a combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen for reducing pain and fever..
Apply Lidocaine gel over the gum for localised pain relief..
Do cool compresses for reducing inflammation and pain..
Do warm saline gargles and take soft diet..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
