Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, Pain and swollen gums may be due to-Gingivitis which has progressed into periodontal infection. Complete thorough scaling has to be done. Tissue grafting has to be done if there is associated bone loss. The pus has to be Chat Doctor. Take complete course of antibiotics too. Apply gum tone gel on the affected site. Gargle frequently using warm saline. Hope this helps.
