Get checked: Where is the bleeding coming from? If it is coming from canine ext site, first try biting on face cloth. If not successful go back to dental surgeon for suturing. See a ENT for issue with phlem in throat. Could be issue with sinus, or tonsil infection.

Post extraction: The best thing for you to do would be to have your dentist check the healing.

Et it checked out: It would be very unusual for bleeding from and extraction site 6 days out. It is possible that the surgical site may have been larger or wider and the blood is coming from elsewhere. Best to get it checked out by the surgeon.
