Suggest Treatment For Gum Bleeding With Diabetes

I had a tooth extracted on Wednesday. I needed some stitches. Since Wednesday my tooth has been bleeding, less and less but still bleeding. I went back to the doctoer today and it seems that the bleeding is coming from the side of the gum and not where the stitches are. I am diabetic and concerned. Doctoer prescribed a mothwash with antibiotics, ples I am taking an oral antibiotic every 8 hours. Anything else I could do?
