What Causes Blood While Coughing Up?
So ive been coughing alot and had small fever 4 or 5 days ago. I started coughing up mucus in small amounts. There is small amounts of blood that i caough up sometimes. I think its bronchitus because me and a few friends went to the hookah house the other day. It says it gets better within a week or two and it does seem that way, but should i be worried about the small amounts of blood being coughed up?

Hello,
Bronchitis may lead to this situation, including the blood when coughing. But if this situation persists, I recommend consulting with a pulmonologist for physical exam, performing a sinus X-ray study and tests for tuberculosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
