What Causes Blood Discharge Along With Saliva?

I m 24 years old and had a tonsillectomy 8 days ago. The scab on my right side fell off a couple of hours ago and I have some slight bleeding. It is similar to bleeding after my wisdom teeth were extracted. I continued to spit out some blood, mixed with saliva for about an hour and a half. should I be worried?
