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.
