Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Oral ulcers,bad breath,swelling of gums,bleeding from gums and bad breath may be due to vitamin deficiency with superadded secondary bacterial infection .
Prolonged antibiotic therapy may also lead to above condition .
Treat with vitamin B complex and vitamin C in high doses will facilitate healing.
Listerene mouth gargle as well as local application of Zytee liquid will lessen the suffering.
Judicious use of antibiotic may cure this condition .
Good food and oral hygiene will prevent further infection .
Hope this answer is OK for you.
