Jiayaliu is an antibiotic with antibacterial properties, which can be used to treat gum bleeding. First, patients should regularly brush their teeth and rinse their mouth to reduce bacterial growth, alleviate inflammation, and relieve gingival bleeding. Then, Jiayaliu medication should be taken under the guidance of a dentist. This drug enhances blood circulation in the gums, improves dental health, and reduces the occurrence of bleeding. Clinically, the recommended dosage is 100–200 mg per dose, taken 2–3 times daily for 10–15 days per course. During treatment, patients should avoid consuming irritating foods such as chili peppers, Sichuan pepper, and other spicy seasonings to minimize inflammation and gum bleeding. Meanwhile, regular visits to a dental clinic are recommended to monitor oral health and strengthen dental protection, thus achieving effective therapeutic results.
