Is It Normal To Have Vomiting And Finding Blood In The Mucus After A Gag Reflux?
I just brushed my teeth and tongue. Whilst brushing the very back of my tongue, my gag reflex kicked in and I vomited. There was then a little bit of blood in the mucus I was coughing up. I have never had this before and I am not suffering from a cough. Is this normal?
hello. it is likely you have damaged some tissue at the back of your throat, which is causing the blood in mucus. dont worry, just avoid cleaning your tongue for 2-3 days and gargle with salt water. it will heal. thanks
