HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that your symptoms are related to post nasal drip of mucus. This can cause inflammation of the back of the throat resulting in the presence of blood.
It is most commonly due to allergies.
Treatment involves : (1)avoidance of allergens if known
(2)topical steroid nasal spray such as nasonex, nasocort, flonase, rhinocort
(3)oral antihistamines
I hope this helps
