    spitting blood when clearing throat... worried

    hello everyone I'm new here,

    basically since a few weeks ago I've had a very sore throat due to post nasal drip and wisdom tooth coming through... however the mucus seems to be harder than usual to clear so I've found myself hacking up mucous from the back of my throat but not coughing as such. anyway there's been a few occasions I could taste blood in my mouth and one occasion I spat onto a tissue and seen bloody saliva. there was also a night not long before I got the sore throat where I woke up to blood in my mouth and because I was so tired I can't remember where it was coming from I think it was my gums but I can't be sure and they only seem to bleed if I brush my teeth. I've been to urgent care and only the nurse would see me and she just ruled out throat infection with swabs. I have to wait 2 more weeks to see a doc and I think they probably won't even want to send me for a chest x-ray because I'm 26 and non smoker. am I worrying about nothing?

    thanks
