A member asked:

Does it mean you have bronchitis when you cough up blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not only: Bronchitis can do that, pneumonia can do that, cancer. Can do that and infections like tuberculosis can do that. You need to see your physician immediately to clarify why you’re coughing up blood
