Maybe you are suffering from recurrent gingivitis. You need to visit dental clinic regularly.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, use mouthwash, warm saline water rinses two to three times a day.
Some time gingivitis can occur due to other reasons also. So consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.
