It sounds like you might be experiencing some oral health issues post contact with lake water. Puffy and swollen gums, bleeding gums, and sores on your tongue may indicate conditions like infections or irritations. Consult a dentist or a doctor who can examine your mouth, provide a proper diagnosis
