I've been spitting up yellow mucus with streaks of blood what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemoptysis: Coughing up blood is called hemoptysis. Usually this is bronchitis and not dangerous. However, it could indicate pneumonia or other infections like tuberculosis; or lung cancer, if at risk. See your doctor soon -- better safe than sorry.
