A member asked:

I coughed up blood in my phlegm. this morning, is this urgent, or can i wait until my next visit in a month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the: amount. If it is a small amount and does not recur, you can probably wait until your next visit. If it is a large amount, or if it persists, notify your doctor immediately.
