COPD Exacerbation: Sounds like acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. It is fairly common to have some blood streaked sputum during an exacerbation. In most patients with COPD the infectious trigger is bacterial so antibiotics are usually needed. Contact your physician to make an appointment. You may need antibiotics. If they feel you need more of a workup, they may order a cxr.
