The symptoms that you describe is indicative of a gum problem.
Scaling is the basic treatment required for such cases, however scaling alone may not suffice in certain cases.
A proper treatment plan based on certain investigations like x ray and blood test is essential.
Next Steps
Please try to take an OPG (full mouth dental xray ) and a basic blood investigation

Sir if you having pus in your teeth or gums it indicates infection if it's with respect to teeth in x ray then root canal has to be done and if it involves gums then scaling
From the above history given by you I feel you have an endo Perio lesion
Kind post the x ray if you have for further comment

Get an xray of the tooth if u have any pain
Pus formation can also occur due to infection at the root end of the tooth and in that case u need an rct
And this pus discharge if present can also lead to bad odour
