What Causes Blood To Come Out From Throat?

Hello, I recently looked into my throat with a flashlight, saw I had some tonsil stones, and tried to force them out. When I spat into the sink, I saw blood instead. Now I notice that every time I try to push up mucus that s not enough to really push up, blood comes up instead. I noticed this about a year ago after taking allergy shots that I had a poor reaction to, but it stopped. The allergy shots made me wheeze and have all kinds of problems, so I had to stop using them. I used to scratch my throat by forcing it to grind against itself and had to stop doing that because it was causing my throat to bleed as the shots made my throat constantly itchy, as well as my nose. I don t do it anymore, and haven t for the entire year, so why is there still blood? Yes, I just got my wisdom teeth out almost two months ago and burnt the top of my mouth on something hot, but these things aren t causing excess bleeding. Thanks, Allie

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The bleeding from the mouth cannot be from the throat unless there is a break in the mucosa secondary to trauma. The other possible cause of bleeding can be a gum infection secondary to deposits over the teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can do saline gargling. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can treat accordingly.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
