Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day


Presence of blood in mucous could suggest severe throat inflammation as the most likely cause. It still requires thorough clinical assessment by Physician.
Would suggest you to consult Child Pediatrician at earliest.

Do get back to me for further queries
