A member asked:
My husband started coughing and got choked up then puked and is now seeing small amounts of blood in his mucus that he is coughing up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood in mucus: Flecks of blood in mucus can simply be due to irritation of trachea from harsh coughing. If there is accompanying discolored sputum , a tracheobronchial infection is likely. Persistent coughing up of blood would warrant an evaluation with chest x-ray and/or chest CT scan and/or consultation with a pulmonologist. If no further blood, I would just sit tight for now.
