Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Blood in the throat may be due to gingival bleeding or post nasal discharge with epistaxis or sinusitis or polyps or vigorous sneezing may lead to blood in the nose. Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week before breakfast. Use normal saline nasal spray.apply pressure if you're having active bleeding. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
