Take a Motrin for the swelling and rinse gently with warm salt water and/or chamomille tea. That should help sooth the gums. If they are painful and it's been several days, you might want to check with your dentist to see if there is something else going on. If you had a molars removed, the healing process will take time. Also, keep up your strength by eating healty foods so that your body can focus on healing. Get plenty of rest and avoid stress right now. All these work together.
