Bleeding and swelling of gums is indicative of gingivitis and / or periodontal disease. It is an early sign .
If you take medication only, it will mask your symptoms and provide superficial temporary relief but the underlying disease will continue to progress. leading to loss of supporting bone and ultimately loss of teeth
Gingivitis is usually induced by plaque but it can also be a manifestation of underlying systemic conditions and diseases that are aggravated by the presence of plaque. Since the gum disease is not accompanied by any severe pain, it is often called a “silent killer” that destroys the supporting bone without any warning symptoms except bleeding.
It is important to get correct diagnosis and treatment by visiting a periodontist who specializes in diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases of gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
Next Steps
Maintain good oral hygiene by toothbrushing twice daily and doing warm saline rinses . Seek an appointment for consultation and cleaning session and to learn proper hygiene techniques for you.

Bleeding gums and swelling can be signs of gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. It's important to see a dentist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can practice good oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help with discomfort. However, it's best to consult a dental professional for personalized advice and appropriate medication.
