hello thanks for consulting at hcm..

you might have enlarged adenoids resulting in tonsillitis..

The bloody spit could be due to many causes namely gingivitis causing bleeding gums,nose bleeds, if recently you had cough and cold, or it could also be due to dry nose or sinus infection resulting in post nasal drip..

Do salt water gargle thrice daily, drink warm water ..

If problem persists please consult a ent specialist and a oral physician..

Hope it helps,,take care..
