What Causes Blood In Saliva?

Hi,I'm getting blood in my spit, it is coming for the past 2 months. Everytime I collect the spit in my mouth and spit it out I could see blood stains in my saliva. Though the blood is not too much but it comes every time I collect the spit. I was thinking that it was coming from my wisdom tooth therefore just got it removed but the blood stains in the spit are still there.I got an x-ray done for the chest but nothing came out. Could you please point me to the right direction?I'm 39 years old and in the past 2 months I've also lost nearly 10lbs, my weight right now is 60kgs.Thanks in advance.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic .

Read your query.

Blood can be due to the inflammation if gums ( gingivitis ) . please consult your dentist and get it cleaned professionally and then use the chlorhexidine mouth wash for a while.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Regarding the weight if you are not on any diet or weight loosing spree and significant weight loss should be got a thorough checkup from your physician .

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
