Hello,
Since you are c/o bleeding gums,i suspect your gums are inflamed resulting in periodonitits.
A direct clinical evaluation by a dentist will help to give an exact diagnosis.
Thorough deep scaling has to be done by a dentist.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Use soft interdental toothbrush and dental floss to clean your teeth.
Gargle using chlorhexidine mouthrinse and betadine solution.
Vitamin c as well as antioxidants has to be administered.
Take plenty of fluids and water.
Regarding other concerns,please do visit a physician.
Hope this helps.
