Brief answer....I concur with your doctor that there is nothing wrong
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Anybody with blood in his spit would definitely get worried but in your case it is coming from your back side of throat due to nasal bleeds and not from your lungs and hence there is nothing to get worried.
Had it been from your lungs,you would have had bleeding while coughing and not spitting.
Just relax and don't worry.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
