My iPhone 7 Plus battery is expanding.

Im in a pickle! My battery has expanded causing the screen to bend from the case. I dont have insurance and the screen has been repaired once by a third party. Other phone repair places wont work on it and I’ve been avoiding the high cost that Apple

might charge. I just need a phone that doesn’t leave me stranded when its not plugged in. Help!

my battery health is 100 % but battery is buffed

I am a gamer I will Connect the charger to play the game

DO NOT USE THE PHONE. A swelling battery is a fire risk. The battery has a sealed, airtight cover that will expand when the battery fails, to keep the contents inside. But puncturing that cover will result in a dangerous fire. So don’t mess with it, either. Your phone has reached its end of life.

Apple will not work on the phone if it has been at an unauthorized shop or worked on by unauthorized persons.....even if you are willing to pay.

Unfortunately, not much that you can do other than see if the shop that you used before will guarantee their work and replace the battery at no charge. The swelling battery that you have now is a fire risk. You should not use the phone.
