I had dinner about 3 hours ago and accidentally swallowed something hard that I felt in my throat. Afterward, my throat felt off, so I took a cough lozenge and later some flurbiprofen AL. Now, when I try to clear my throat, I notice blood in my spit. Initially, it was pinkish, but now it looks more like typical blood. I didn’t see what I swallowed—just that it was part of a potato dish.

I’m assuming it’s either a small wound or maybe something stuck. Any advice? I definitely feel something in my throat but can’t tell what it is.

The bleeding started about an hour ago, and I also feel very light stomach pain. (not sure if its connected to the rest) There isn’t a ton of blood in my spit, but enough to make me concerned (not enough to call an ambulance, I think).

I kind of dont wanna go to bed in case it gets worse and I miss it . But if it stays bad I need to see a doc in the morning.

Any input- tipps etc welcome

      Well, it’s midnight, so the timing kind of sucks. I could go to an emergency room, but I’m not even sure there’s much that could be done if it’s traveling through my body. That said, if there are even slight complaints in the morning, I’m going to my local doctor. Mind you im not sure if I should wait till the morning or if its urgent but that is hard to judge as a layman.

      But yeah blood isnt a good sign. Even if its not anime coughing up blood levels of blood.

      Edit. One good thing the blood seems pinkish now.
