Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Blood tinged sputum: Resulting from repetitive cough or throat inflammation can occur, salt water gargles, throat lozenges, and well hydration will help, and complete your prescribed medications, if this continues, or becomes worse, revisit your doctor, wish you well
