Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Many times thee are small blood vessels which get open up and there is a blood in the saliva .
You need to get an ENT endoscopy to see for the cause. Cancer is not at all expected at your age - so do not worry.
X-ray of the chest / CT scan of the nose and sinuses may be helpful to see or rule out other causes .
