What Could Blood In Saliva With Fever In Infants Suggest?
I have noticed a small amount of blood in my 17 month old's drool. Is this a sign of something serious? I have looked in his mouth and haven't noticed any new teeth coming in, and this morning he woke up with a fever of 102. I know that some children can run small fevers when teething but my son never has.

How common blood coming out of mouth or gums? fever is not related to blood? just do a bleeding time and platelets as well coagulation profile to be on safer side and be away from fear.
