Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query.As per your query you have blood in the saliva after nose bleeding . The most common causes like gum infection causing bleeding,inflamed throat due to throat infection and tonsillitis, sinus infection, upper respiratory tract infection while at times can be due acid reflux or due to lung infection. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan along with physical examination and taking history .

Also consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and for gum infection Scaling followed by a short course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers and topical gum paint application will relieve.
