A member asked:

See doctor: You have an infection and blood with the red. The black can be old blood or tar if you are a smoker.

See your doc: It sounds like you might be messing around with a pneumonia. You should head into the doc for an evaluation. They may want to get a chest X-ray and some blood work, and you may need an antibiotic. Hope you get well soon!

Don't know: You need to speak through video chat (not text, not audio in this case) with a doctor on HealthTap Prime or see a doctor in person. This could be bronchitis or pneumonia but it could also be several other conditions. It's not possible to tell through this type of interaction.
