Missed birth control pills

Please help. I missed 3 days of pills, took two on the 4th day and continued as normal with the rest. A few days later I started bleeding (brown blood). I am now in my third week and am still bleeding (red blood). is this normal? What should I do to get back to normal

This is probably a result of missing the pills. If you continue taking them each day, your cycle will settle down eventually.
