FATTY LIVER: At your age, i doubt very much that your fatty liver is severe enough to cause esophageal varices which could bleed and cause you to have blood in your throat. The most likely explanation is an inflammed back of the throat causing a bit of a capillary leakage. However, you should be examined to properly determine where this blood is coming from please.
