I've had the flu and a bad cough for a few days. today when i cough up phlem there is a small amout of blood. what would l have irritated?

Probably not serious: Are you otherwise healthy? Was the blood pink or dark in colour? Are you better from the flu in every other way? The blood could come from the oropharynx or the lung. If you are unwell or if the symptoms persist you should see a doctor to evaluate you in detail.
