Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
From the information provided by you, it is most likely Malaria or Tuberculosis. But the history of bleeding gums mandate additional investigations for dengue, bleeding abnormalities and some other hematological conditions, which I would not like to name here.
Pending investigations, an empirical course of anti-malarial drugs would be justified.
Kindly consult your treating doctor and discuss the entire matter with him. He knows what would be best for you.
