I've been experiencing something a bit concerning tonight. I sneezed a few times and then noticed small amounts of blood mixed with mucus and saliva for about 5 minutes before it stopped. I'm not sure if this is something I should be worried about. Can you tell me if this is normal or if I should be doing anything about it?
