I have tonsillitis my doctor has given me penicillin to take 4 times a day and it has since cleared up but now I have very badly swollen pink gums which hurt and bleed when brushed is this from the penicillin or is it something else and will it go away by itself or is there something I can do?

Can’t be due to penicillin. Consult a nearby dentist, can give a solution after clinical correlation
