Take CALPOL 650 when symptomatic, if Luke warm water gargle is not relieving. As mild to moderate discomfort subsides by help of paracetamol.

For dental pain & gum bleeding after covid recovery , get clinical examination done .
Also maintaining oral hygiene is very important by brushing 2 times daily on a regular basis. Gargle with lukewarm salt water after every meals to maintain oral hygiene
