A member asked:

Why do i taste blood when i cough? i've had a frequent, productive cough for the past 2 days. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You are obviously already concerned but have not provided enuf info to allow advice guiding you further. Do you have fever, chest pain, shortness of air, have you been exposed to someone with infection, and so on. Go and see a doctor and let them examine you, and they may need a chest x-ray. Good luck.
