PLEASE tell me if you have ever seen blood on your LO's sheets when teething

For the past month or so, since DS (15mo) started his latest bout of teething, we have seen 2-3 coin sized patches of browny diluted blood stains on his cot sheets in the morning every few days. I have put this down to teething. But..The other day, when he was in the throws of a bad cough/cold with a temperature, we found a lot more blood on the sheet, freaked out and went to gp who said in her 20 years of being a doctor she had never heard of blood on sheets from teething. Slightly disconcerted now! So, please can you say here whether or not you have ever seen this with your LO so I know whether or not I am being unreasonable to doubt the GP! Thanks xx

Ds1 never, DS2 I can remember finding tiny amounts, but he def used his fingernails on his sore gums when teething, not that it worked...

I assumed it was normal :)

Easilybored, its definitely blood. His mouth smells strongly of blood whenever I get him out of his cot, even if there are no blood marks on sheets. Actually, he has periods of his mouth smelling bloody for months, on and off,which I guess do more or less mirror the times he's been actively teething. Has anyone else noticed a bloody smelling ''morning mouth"?
