What Causes A Taste Of Blood In The Mouth?

You are most probably having chronic allergic rhino-sinusitis with PND .
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query , reviewed your medications and understand your concern.
After reading your clinical history it appears that you are most probably having
chronic allergic rhino-sinusitis with post nasal discharge ( PND ) with GERD & chronic laryngitis .
In chronic allergic rhino-sinusitis minor capillary blood oozing is common due to congestion . Cough , fogging , lump feeling in throat & PND is because of chronic allergic rhino-sinusitis & GERD .
If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
Saline nasal spray or rinse thrice daily with
Warm salt water gargle twice daily to clear mucus in nose & throat .
You will need Combination Steroid nasal spray with antihistamine 2 puff each nostril twice daily , Tab antihistamine at night & anti inflammatory analgesic Paracetamol twice daily .
You will get relief .
Continue Amoxicillon & Lansoprazole .
Investigation needed like CT Scan Nose & Sinuses . You need to consult ENT specialist for ENT Examination , investigation & nasal spray .
Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.


My doctor saw my throat today and said my blood vessels at the back of my throat are huge (and they were like this 6 weeks ago). He sent me to have blood test for thyroid, full blood count, liver function, CK, ESR, Rheumatoid Screen. I wasn't anemic 18 months ago when i last had my blood tested - do you know why my vessels might be so enlarged and bleeding? He suggests this is causing the blood every day in my saliva?
He also told me he didn't think I had GERD even though he gave me these antibiotics for the last month - I have finished them now.
He thinks I have problems with my layrnx but isn't sure yet so he hasn't prescribed any medication until the blood test. Does this sound likely and a good option for now?
Blood vessels are enlarge because of repeated infection from PND .
