Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the question. Well he has gingivitis and bleeding so please do not rub on it with hard toothbrush. Kindly start regular mouthwash with betadine. Also start a multivitamin with good vitamin c. Please show it to dentist once to see if any underlying pus or tooth infection.
