What Causes Blood In Mucus?
I am 30 years old Indian Male living in Singapore. Past one week I have started to notice slight blood while I clear my throat during brushing in the morning. The blood is not too much and just a strand or two. Color is pale red and it comes with some white stuff alongwith. This only happens at once instance in the morning and not after that. In the morning i also notice some soreness inside my throat towards the front top. It subsides during the day. What can this be I am scared and hope it is not cancer. Please advice

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear nothing to worry about it. It maybe due to pharyngitis or sinusitis or dryness in nasal mucosa may lead to bleeding.
Few cases with Bronchitis also may present like this. Use normal saline nasal spray. Use water vapour inhalation. Tab. Alday-Dc twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care.
