What Causes Blood Streaks In Mucus?

I am currently taking augmentin and rhinocort aqua for acute sinusitis. I have been on the medications for about two days. Last night i noticed blood streaks in my mucus. This morning i had a dry heave and threw up blood. Is this something i should be concerned about. I am not experiencing any other symptoms currently. No blood is coming out from my nose.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The blood streaked mucous could be because of the gum infection, or any cuts in the oral cavity or pulp polyp or any bleeding disorders like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Consult a oral physician and get these things ruled out. Get a complete blood investigation along with INR to rule out the bleeding disorders.
If any gum infection then get your teeth cleaned and use topical gum astringents like stolin gum paint.
if pulp polyp is there then get it root canal treated.
If bleeding disorder is there then consult a general physician.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
