There are non surgical and laser procedures available
So sorry to hear that! In order to properly identify the issue, you would need to come in for an exam because swollen gums can mean a number of things.
The #1 cause of swollen gums is inflammation due to dental plaque and contaminants. The best first course of action for swollen gums is brushing and flossing daily, +/- use of a Waterpik.
You can also swish with salt water on a nightly basis. Doing this for 2 weeks consistently should bring down gum swelling and inflammation.
If this routine does not help, your swollen gums may be related to pregnancy, a systemic health condition such as Diabetes or possible related to medications you are taking. Mouth breathing can also lead to swollen and inflamed gums.
Start with the increased brushing and flossing with intermittent salt water rinses, and then see what kind of results you get!
