Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
As because of chlohex, you are already taking immunity boosters. It is assumed that problem is because of Vitamic C deficiency. I strongly recommend you to increase your vitamin c levels. Try to consume lemon juice ( about 3 to 4 lemons juice everday) without sugar, awala and other vit c containing fruits. Try to take bitter fruits in your daily meals.
Next Steps
Do warm water or lukewarm water saline gargles 3 to 4 times in a day. continue your limsin tablet as it's a chewable tablet. try to consume as much as vit c containing fruits.
Health Tips
Take Rexidine M forte gel and rexidine plus mouthwash. Apply gel 3 to 4 times gently over gums and massage your gums. Use mouthwash containing chlorhexidine 0.2 % or 0.12% two times in day of 10 ml each time. Use ultrsoft toothbrush for brushing your teeth

Stolin R toothpaste twice a day after meal.
Limcee once a day for 15 days.
Clohex mouthwash once in 2-3 days, after meal, hold 2 ml of medicine directly in mouth and spit out after 3 mins. Stay that way without rinsing for 15 minutes and brush your teeth thoroughly.
Warm water salt gargle.
