Gum bleeding suggests bad oral hygiene.You did not mention when you had your last scaling session.Get a professional scaling done with your dentist.Bleeding gums will not reduce with amoxicillin.It requires scaling and tetracycline antibiotic course. You must see your dentist regarding this.Take doxy-1 once daily for three days.Avoid milk with this medicine. Brush gently over the gums.Use warm saline gargle thrice daily. Scaling must be done every 6 months.Gargle after every meal or snack.Use floss daily.
Hope this helps.
