Give paracetamol for the fever for a day or 2 and observe the swelling. If it increases, better to consult.

The swelling in the gums may be the cause of his fever especially if it’s also painful and red. You need to do a physical consultation with a doctor. Meanwhile keep mouth clean. Use salt water gargles if he can without swallowing

If the child is feeding, sleeping and is feeling comfortable then no need to worry.
