Why wanna i cough up the mucus it's blood in it...i do have a cold?

Go to doctor

The blood could be from the back of the nose or the throat from small surface blood vessels that pop from the drying effect of the mucous but since I can't examine you, it is best to see your health practitioner to examine you and give you more peace of mind. More exams may be needed which can't be done here.

Is there a difference between mucus and blood in taste? There is an unusual taste at the back of my throat although I can't cough up anything.

Post nasal drip

This can be from post nasal drip. Do you have any nasal congestion? headaches or sinus pain? Treating them will alleviate your mucus. Try an over the counter saline nasal spray and see if it helps

Dr. Sue Ferranti answered:

why do I cough up mucus

Mucous...

Mucous is formed so that the body can get rid of foreign matter, like bacteria and viruses. If you are coughing excessive mucous, it may mean there is inflammation present in the airways. This could be due to diseases like chronic bronchitis, a form of COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, etc. See your doctor so your condition can be diagnosed and treated.

A productive cough can be from postnasal drip, pneumonia and bronchitis. Reflux can lead to a productive cough, but it is usually a dry cough. See your doctor.

It means there's some irritation. Need to figure out where it is and what's causing it. If you're a febrile you likely don't need to worry. If it persists, see your doctor
