Hello
Please meet your ent doctor or dentist , the brown colour is likely to be due to some bleeding in your upper airway /gums . This can be due to a variety of reasons like an infection, gum swelling etc. You will need to be examined for the site of bleeding and treated accordingly.
Meanwhile i would like you to start rinsing your mouth with chlorhexidine mouth wash 23 times a day.
