Every time i cough i am seeing light blood on my saliva. why is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bloody saliva: Hello, blood with cough needs to be evaluated. You have a fever so infectious causes could be present but you also smoke. A chest x-ray, and possibly an antibiotic may be helpful. Follow up with your doctor.
