HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The most common cause of acute sore throat is infection.
Acute sore throat due to infection can result in bleeding. This is because the area is inflamed due to the viral or bacterial infection.
When the infection resolves, the bleeding episodes would also normally cease as well.
I hope this helps
