I've been noticing a bit of blood in my saliva when I spit in the mornings, usually just in the first few spits, and then it doesn't happen again throughout the day. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms like a cough or pain. I've never smoked or used tobacco, and I don't drink alcohol either. This has been going on for about a week now, but it doesnt happen every single day, maybe once every couple of days. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this, hoping it's nothing serious. Any ideas?

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've always been really skinnylike, my whole life. I'm around 55 kg, and nothing I've tried in terms of medicines or treatments seems to help me gain weight. I've also got a couple of other issues. My left ear veins aren't working right, so I can't hear out of it, and I'm starting to go bald even though I'm pretty young. Plus, I have this bad habit of chewing tobacco, which I know can't be helping. I'm really eager to figure out how to get healthier and maybe even bulk up a bit. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what I could do?

Patient is advised tobacco cessation.
