How to deal with swollen gums problem?

Only one way: There is only one way that works. See a dentist to evaluate the cause and treat you accordingly. There are no magic home remedies.

Clean, clean, clean: Swollen gum, by definition, is gingivitis. Treated by regular cleaning. Loss of bone support, on the other hand, is periodontitis. Treated by deep clean, occlusal adjustment, followed up, and possible bone graft. Treat the gum to save money!
