Suggest Remedies For Bleeding From Gums And Swollen Throat

Last week I moved and was without running water for sometime. I was unable to brush my teeth for a few days, when i finally did they were already hurting/itchy. They bled instantly when i began to brush. After a few days the pain/itching subsided but bleeding continues slightly. THis was also all accompanied by a slight sore throat and I can feel a bit of swelling in my throat.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding in the gums could be because of the gum infection(since you are telling you did not brush) secondary to the deposits over the teeth.
The other causes can be any cuts in the oral cavity or pulp polyp or any bleeding disorders like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
Consult a oral physician and get these things ruled out. Get a complete blood investigation along with INR to rule out the bleeding disorders.
If I am your treating doctor, I would advise you to get the teeth cleaned and use topical gum astringents like stolin gum paint. If the bleeding does not stop even after this I would suggest you to get a complete hemogram includingBT, CT, PT AND INR to rule out bleeding disorders.
