A member asked:
Could coughing up yellow sputum with a tiny bit of blood that goes away entirely after, be a sign of lung cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well, it depends on how long it has been happening and what other symptoms you have going on. I would advise you to see a physician so that they can get your entire history and see if any testing is needed to evaluate further.

Very good evening doctors. How would I know if occasional blood in my saliva/sputum with no cough at all and no feeling of fever could be a pulmonary/lung cancer problem or a gum/dental issue? I am on Plavix 75mg and aspirin 81mg and I have stents?
