It's important to take any instance of blood in the mouth seriously, even after completing TB treatment. It could be related to residual lung issues, irritation, or other causes such as a throat infection or bleeding gums. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any complications or new conditions.
