Blood tinged sputum: Can be a common by-product of an infection. Evaluation by a doctor can determine if this is a treatable condition. All the best.

Sick: Blood may be present due to coughing hard or drainage from the sinuses, however, if there is none of that, you may need to have a work up done to determine the source of bleeding.
