Bleeding gums
I had bleeding gums so got deep cleaning done to it. After which my gums weren't bleeding for like 2-3weeks but now again i see little blood in the same place where it used to bleed before while brushing and when i massage my gums with gum tone. They are also a bit swollen. I brush twice a day and also gargle my mouth with salt water. I'm worried. Please help.

Learn proper brushing technique from dentist. Use floss, interdental brush and mouthwash. Brush gently with medium or soft bristled brush.
Visit dentist for clinical examination.
