See your MD: blood and phlegm (if not colorless ) is a sign of infection.

Is it possible to have sinunitis and wake up with light blood in your mouth? I don't blow out any blood thru my nose but sinuses are inflammed

Had a scratch in nose that caused a little bit of blood. I also get what seems like postnasal drip where there's phlegm I kind of have to suck up into my mouth to spit out. Once, there was a small amount of blood in it. Is this from my nose?

For over a year it seems all the phlegm in my nose goes into my throat somehow and causes me to choke. I also always wake up with blood in my mouth. ?

Im not sure where the streak of blood in my phlegm came from. If it was my sinuses would I have a bloody nose? This only happened once
