Hello
It seems from the history that you are spitting blood from phlegm after nasal bleeding following injury.
The spitting of blood from phlegm indicates presence of nasal bleeding.
Hence this requires examination by a ENT doctor to look for source of nasal bleeding and treat it either by cauterization or by nasal pack.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
