Hi mam,
The bleeding indicates that the gum is having some inflammation, so it needs to be addressed soon. But as you told me you are traveling, in the meantime, you can try using Stolin gum paint to massage the gums twice a day. Rinse with warm salt water as many times as possible.
Next Steps
Kindly plz visit a dentist for check up at earliest

Your complain suggests gingival inflammation.
This will require a visit to a dentist and have full mouth cleaning.
Until then use a gum astringent liquid. Massage the liquid on your gums for about 5 min followed by gargles.

Visit a dentist to have scalling done
