Suggest Treatment For Pain And Bleeding In Jaw And Gum Line

I was brushing my teeth this morning and accidentally jammed my toothbrush the bottom part of my jaw on the gum line. It was very painful and started bleeding. It still hurts and so do my tonsils so perhaps I hit a nerve. How should I treat the pain and injury?
