Hello and welcome to HCM,
Blood in sputum or phlegm is not due to any of the above mentioned drugs.
Blood in sputum occurs in disorders of respiratory tract or throat.
Thus, I suggest you to consult a physician initially for clinical assessment.
Examination of the sputum is required.
At the same time, X-ray chest and throat examination is also required.
Consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment and thus management.
Thanks and take care
