thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the bleeding gums could be because of the gum infection. you have to consult your oral physician and get your teeth cleaned. the swollen lip could be because of the tooth infection. you need to take radiograph of that tooth. you can take a course of antibiotic after consulting the physician, do saline gargling.
i hope my answer will help you. take care.
