Causes of blood in saliva

1. Oral bleeding

If you have bleeding in your mouth, you may have gingivitis. This is related to not paying attention to oral hygiene. If it is accompanied by redness and swelling of the throat, it may be due to inflammation or pharyngitis caused by smoking. You should go to the hospital for treatment in time. You should eat light meals and drink plenty of water in normal times. If you are a smoker, you should quit smoking.

2. Blood in sputum

A dry throat and blood in the sputum are signs of blood loss. This is a sign of lung problems, such as lobar pneumonia. The blood is caused by ruptured capillaries due to combined bronchitis or mycoplasma pneumonia. At this time, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. You should drink more water, get enough rest, and actively seek medical treatment.

3. Bleeding gums

If the blood in your saliva comes from your gums and bleeds frequently when you brush your teeth or bite down on hard objects, you may have periodontal disease, or chronic gingivitis. At this time, you should go to the dentist for a check-up, and then have a comprehensive cleaning of your teeth to completely remove dental plaque. You should also pay attention to the cleaning of your teeth in normal times, brushing your teeth at least twice a day. When choosing toothpaste, you can choose traditional Chinese medicine ones, such as Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste, which will have an auxiliary effect. In addition, bleeding gums may also be caused by a lack of vitamin C in the body. If it is caused by a lack of nutrition, you need to eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as fruits and vegetables, to prevent scurvy, and the fruits or vegetables must be fresh.

4. Others

Saliva bleeding may also be related to leukemia, hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc. In addition, if the digestive system is impaired, diabetes, cirrhosis, late-stage nephritis, etc., symptoms of bleeding gums will also appear.

Therefore, when there is often blood in the mouth, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time. If it is really a disease, it can be detected and treated early.
