Bleeding gums and a toothache for a week may suggest an underlying dental problem such as a gum infection, tooth decay, or gum inflammation. It is important not to ignore these symptoms, as they may worsen if left untreated. Please visit a dentist as soon as possible for a proper examination and treatment. In the meantime, maintain good oral hygiene by gently brushing twice a day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. You can also rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help reduce swelling and keep the area clean. Avoid very hot, very cold, or sugary foods and drinks, as they may increase the pain. For pain relief, over-the-counter medicines such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can be used if you have no medical reasons to avoid them. Do not place painkillers directly on the gums, as this may cause irritation. If you notice facial swelling, fever, pus, or difficulty opening your mouth, please seek dental care immediately.
