Bleeding Gingiva: Your bleeding gingiva can be caused by many factors, but the inflammation does not usually cause flu like symptoms. You may have carious lesions that are trapping food and causing your discomfort, and if these lesions are deep, you may have a dental abscess. Please see both a dentist and a physician for a thorough workup. May be more than one issue.

Coincidental: Sounds like a viral infection (fever/cold/achy/headaches) and a bacterial infection (painful gums/bleeding). You need professional care by both your General Dentist and your General Physician. Please make both appointments now. Sorry, there's no OTC that will fix you, you need professional care.
