What Causes Blood In The Mouth?
I can taste blood in my mouth when i clear my throat but I don't see any in my spit. I have seen an ENT but it was a year ago. He scoped my larynx and everything and said everything looked fine. I do have drainage and I've been coughing. I've had blood in my mouth before but I am not the best at brushing my teeth so I've always assumed that was the reason.

Read your query.
The blood taste or litttle bleeding can be because of gingivitis (which is the inflammation of your gums).
I advise you to visit your dentist and get your teeth cleaned ,followed by using chlorhexidine mouth wash.
Follow proper brushing and maintain your teeth and gums well and the bleeding will reduce.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and regards.
