Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, see you have undergone temporary filling in tooth, but now you have swollen gum this can be due to periodontal problem or periapical infection at your temporary restored tooth. There is nothing to worry, but you should consult your dentist and go for IOWA X-ray to evaluate swollen gum is due to periodontal problem or periapical infection. In meantime you can do Luke warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you.
