Coughing Up Hard Lumps Of Catarrh With Blood, Throat Pain. Need Help

can anything help me coughing up hard bloody lumps of catarrh from a painful throat infection? I have them quite regularly throughout my childhood and adult life but in between infections it constantly feels like something touching the back of my throat making me gag, especially in the mornings, so I have to keep clearing my throat and using cough sweets but its usually clear mucus having this effect in between the infections

Hello,
You have to get yourself examined by ENT specialist for any wheeze and chest infection , secondly get examined for nasal allergic problems and get done CT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses to get any disease ruled out of nose and sinuses.
You may need --
Prevention from cold,dust,perfume smell or other smell
Nasal steroid sprays
nasal saline wash
antihistaminics
The other part is acidity or reflux which is the ignored part and most of us do not even know about it.take precautions---
Keep head end of bed elevated.
Avoid alcohol, Smoking
Do brisk walking daily
Go for walk after dinner
Avoid spicy food     
Avoid late night coffee
