What Causes Gum Bleeding?

I never have many gum problems, and about 2 days ago I was diagnosed with tonsillitis, starting the day after I began antibiotics my gums became largely inflamed and extremely red. It is miserable to brush my teeth and my gums usually bleed when I brush. Could this inflammation be caused by the tonsillitis?

Dentist 's  Response
Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
No tonsillitis does not cause inflammation of gums , it can be possible that you are having problem of improper oral hygiene maintenance.
Better you visit your dentist and get proper cleaning of tooth done.
Hope it will help you.
