A member asked:
Whenever i produce phlegm, there are blood streaks in them. i'm not coughing, though i am a smoker. i consulted my doctor but he said its a wound?

See another doctor: persistent bloody phlegm in a smoker needs a workup to rule out cancer. Find a doctor willing to give an exam to rule this out.
