Blood in Spitted Mucus

Hi,
I waked up this morning when the blood thing started. I accumulate a lot of mucus.I usually spit a lot, the spit usually contains mucus. But this morning when i spitted the mucus out, i noticed it contains blood. Yesterday, my throat felt sore, but this morning it has relieved. I have been going to my doctor about my problem of spitting mucus every 20 minutes especially after eating but after taking injection and the drugs he gives me, the problem never ease. I have lot hope about the curing my spitting mucus a lot. Do you know what my problem may be? Thanks.

Excess salivation is a common problem that sometimes is a pretty stubborn problem, your doctor needs to evaluate the various possible reasons.  Hypersalivation, or sialorrhea, is common in pregnancy.  If an underlying cause is not found, anticholinergic medication can help, such as atropine, scopolamine, or even benadryl.  The blood in your sputum is concerning, this needs to be checked by your doctor since that does not commonly accompany sialorrhea.
