I'm really concerned about my dad. He's 42 and has been noticing a bit of blood when he spits, especially in the morning before he brushes his teeth. Any idea what might be causing this?

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a small lump on the right side of my neck. It feels a bit firm, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if it could just be a swollen lymph node. It hasn't really changed in size or become painful, but it's making me anxious. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own? What could be causing this lump, and do I need to get it checked out soon?
