Red gums: Generally indicates some form of periodontal (gum) disease- from mild gingivitis to more serious periodontitis. Could be other medical or dental causes as well. See your own dentist for an evaluation or consult with a Periodontist.

Professional help: What you are describing are symptoms associated with gum disease, which is an insidious progressive process. You need professional care. Start with your Dentist. Referral to a specialist Periodontist may or may not be indicated. Sometimes gum bleeding is a sign of a systemic disease as opposed to an oral infection. Ge get checked out.
