Bleeding gums can be attributed to several factors such as poor oral hygiene, hard brushing, underlying medical conditions, vitamin deficiencies etc. The pooling of saliva can be because of nasal congestion, underlying medical conditions, mouth breathing, allergies, medications etc. From the images attached the patient has severe hard deposits (calculus) which needs to be professionally cleaned thoroughly by a dentist following which proper brushing techniques with medication can help the condition get better eventually.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist for deep scaling.
Health Tips
Medication without treating the underlying cause will only help the progression of the condition but will not resolve the existing problems. The mouthwash is antibacterial and works best following scaling.

Bleeding gums can be caused by poor oral hygiene, leading to plaque buildup and inflammation (gingivitis).
Other factors include aggressive brushing, vitamin deficiencies, or certain medications.
To manage bleeding gums, practice good oral hygiene by brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily, and using an antibacterial mouthwash, saline rinses.
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can also help prevent and treat underlying issues.
If bleeding persists, consult your dentist to rule out any underlying conditions.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for further diagnosis..
