I'm doing gargling and taking steam every day. Today, I had my COVID-19 test because my parents tested positive. I don't have any symptoms, but about an hour after the test, I started spitting blood mixed with saliva, and it happened about ten times. Could this be because of the throat swab test since they took my sample from the throat?

Question

I've got this weird mass under my jaw on the right side, kind of in the submandibular area. There's a similar bump on the left too, but it's not as big or swollen. I'm wondering if it could be a tumor, or maybe it's just from a cold I've had recently? I feel fine overall and haven't noticed any other symptoms. Could it just be some swelling from being sick?
