If bleeding persists after tooth extraction, take the following measures:
1. Keep the head and mouth elevated to reduce bleeding;
2. Soak a cotton swab in warm water and apply pressure on the bleeding tooth;
3. Apply a cold compress to the head to help reduce bleeding;
4. Take anticoagulant medications to reduce bleeding;
5. Drink plenty of water to keep the mouth clean, and avoid eating greasy foods.
