Coughed up a small amount of blood. is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be: There are many reasons for coughing up blood (hemoptysis). These range from minor problems like a bloody nose (epistaxis) that dripped down the back of the throat. There are also serious causes (infections, bronchiectasis, etc) that need to be evaluated by a physician. Sometimes a cause isn't found; but, there should be an evaluation.
