You should investigate to search the cause of haematemesis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have bleeding in mouth. Your INR is normal so its not due to drug or bleeding tendency.

You may have portal hypertension or liver disease that leads to esophageal varices and bleeding in mouth.

You should go for ultrasound abdomen, complete liver function test and endoscopy. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.

Please go for investigation and start treatment accordingly.
