What Could Cause Blood In Spittle After Having Breakfast?
Question: Hi,
Today, after almost 2 hours of having breakfast I noticed blood while I split. I had some bread toast, baked beans, corn flakes, scrambled eggs with juice in breakfast. Last night I ate barbequed fish. I have hypothyroid and under medication for the same. Last test done is Mar indicated TSH had 5.4
what could be the reason for this? Do I need to carry out any tests?

Brief Answer:
Its probably sore throat
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
From your query I understand that you have blood in sputum.
Its most probably some irritation of throat or bronchitis. Blood in sputum is a common symptom in these two conditions. If its not this, then the fish bone/corn flake may have scratched your throat and went down. Its nothing to be worried. If there is no other symptom, then it can be ignored.
Simply do saline gargles 2-3 times a day (with salt in warm water) and you will be fine.
Hope it answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
