Hello Doctor, I have a severe gums problem and taking treatment for it. Slowly the blood stopped when I spit and when I brush also it is reduced. But when i sneeze for three or four times and then i spit... I see blood in saliva .Please let me know what all tests i would like to do for this.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding can be because of the infection in the gums secondary to deposits. The bleeding particularly after sneezing is because of the negative pressure created by sneezing. The other possible cause can be because of the respiratory tract infection and rupture of terminal arteries. Nothing to be panic, get your teeth cleaned and consult a ENT surgeon or pulmonologist and take an opinion.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
