View Full Version : Bloody Saliva?

Alright, for the past three or four months now, I've been been spitting up bloody saliva from the back of my throat, and have a real "thickish" feeling in my throat, and the back of my nose.

It happens literally most times I spit from the back of my throat. Not in general, so it's not a teeth/gum problem at all.

I've researched symptoms and they've said it can be anything, like Oral Cancer, but that's the only symptom I have for it. So I doubt it.

I don't have that wall between my nose anymore (not the nostrils), and the blood in the spit happened right after I had the flu and a bad sinus infection, that supposedly has something to do with it.

So can anybody give me a helpful explanation of what it could be?

If you treated those illnesses with certain medications, they can cause dryness in the nose which is jammed pack with blood vessels. When those medications dried out the nose, they dryness probably got too far over done and ended up causing cracks that are bleeding and won't heal because of the frequent air flow there. And, if you didn't know, the nasal cavity is connected to the oral cavity often flowing the blood into the back of the throat (where you described). If you ever get a bloody nose and tilt your head back, you will feel it flowing into your throat.

To treat it at home, I'd suggest taking Vitamin C tablets etc. with vitamin C because vitamin C heals small vessels like this and not having enough can just leave it open. Also, if your deficiency is low enough, you will feel toward etc. If you can, blow your nose. A good deal, if you get blood, its most like a open nose bleed for a while. And you need to close that. If it continues much longer, see a doctor.
