Hi, this morning I got scared cause after
I dressed up I felt some taste of blood in
my mouth, I spit a little and I noticed
some blood so I grabbed some toilet paper,
cleaned my throat and spitted again in the
paper and there was quite some blood mixed
with the mucus and I also noticed my
throat had still some bloody mucus left :?
I think it might've been from my nose,
maybe I had a nosebleed during the night
but i'm not sure, there was only very few
blood on my right nostril... I'm feeling
a bit better now thinking that it was
really from the nose and it runned down to
my throat but i'm still afraid that this
might be something worse..
I'm only 20, I don't smoke nor drink and I
exercise sometimes but I don't drink a lot
of water and my throat feels dry a lot of
times, I also used to bleed from my nose
when I was younger specially during summer
season but now my nosebleeds are rare --
thankfully --
i'm still feeling scared cause this never
happened before.. So any help is really
appreciated.

Make sure you drink a lot of water.
Blood in mucus can show infection of
sinus/nose-however without posed
inflammtion of the area and wellbeing it
doesn't sound like thats the cause. Your
nose bleed history and dryness. I would
say make sure you drink plenty.
Get saline spray with no preservatives
use that and see if anything improves and
drink plenty of water. For dryness of
mouth I would even recommend some mixture
of half gatorade and half water mixture.
You need electrolyte replacement as always
with drinking plenty of water. However
half a glass of gatorade since so sugary
should be fine for you. See if that
makes a difference. But drink!! You
need that to coat your mucus membranes to
not allow them to bleed.
Good rule of thumb drink 4 oz of water
half a glass, every hour you are awake-
that will suffice your intake, unless you
take medication then you need more.
If you resume nosebleed ever regularly,
you shoudl see a doctor as this could be a
sign of something else. Also living in a
newly remodeled home and new carpeting
will cause this as well as other things.

About Your Nose Bleeds... Posted: 06-05-06 01:22am
Hi I just wanted to say that when I was
ten I had alot of nosebleeds cause the
climate was to dry.I moved to a different
province and the nose bleeds stopped.So it
could be from dryness. Also if you think
its from your throat I would go get it
checked out.I was bleeding from the throat
and I had the start of pneumonia. Take
care..

Thanks both of you for your replies, it
didn't happen again and yes the weather
probably has something to do with too,
it's very hot were I live and sometimes I
get the feeling of dryness all over my
nostrils and mouth just by breathing air.
I'll drink more water as you advised me
and try the other stuff, thx.
