I've noticed that I'm seeing blood when I spit, especially in the mornings. Should I be concerned about this, and do you think I need any tests? How should I go about getting treatment for this?

Seeing blood while spitting can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Tests such as a complete blood count (CBC), coagulation studies, and imaging studies may be recommended to determine the cause of the bleeding. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as tranexamic acid to help with clotting, antibiotics if there is an infection, or corticosteroids for inflammation. The dosage and duration of medication will depend on the specific diagnosis made by your healthcare provider.

I've had this strange thing happening with my nose recently, where a water-like fluid just starts running from it, but I don't have any cold symptoms at all. This happened once before going to bed and another time while I was exercising. There's no pain around my nose, but I'm curious about what could be causing it. I did have nosebleeds when I was a kid, though they don't happen much anymore. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?

Do you have any history of trauma to nose ? And how often do this happen ?
