Brief Answer:
You are having hemoptysis.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Blood in sputum (phlegm) is known as hemoptysis.
Hemoptysis can be due to pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchiectesis, bronchitis and lung cancer.
But at your your age, possibility of lung cancer is very less.
Possibility of infective etiology is more in your case.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out about mentioned causes.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
