Hello,

If there are stripes of clear red colour blood with the sputum then this is due to the throat being scratched by a cough and nothing to worry. Drinking plenty of fluids and taking guaifenesin syrup to help soften a cough might be helpful. Honey is also helpful for a cough.

If there is blood mixed with the sputum, not just thin stripes, then you will need a visit with the doctor to rule out important conditions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
