Brief Answer:
Monitor only to see if this happens again and again...

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this brown spit. Unless it repeats itself again, there is no reason to get worried. I will suggest that you only monitor at this time. We will follow through and make further decisions based on whether this continues or not. Keep me posted on the progress of this. However, brown spit is often from a minor oral injury that causes bleeding. Resolution in most cases is spontaneous.

I hope to hear from you regularly on the evolution of this.
