What Causes Bloody Phlegm And Mucus Discharge From Throat?

Okay. I was taking a shower and just brushed my teeth. I rinsed and spit and it looked like chunks of blood came out. Thinking it may be a tooth I rinsed again and nothing. But when I garbled, more bloody looking flem. I could feel,it in my throat and worked it up and spit out a lot of mucus with a lot of blood in it. After rinsing,gargling and spitting a while it seemed to stop. So what the hell is going on in me.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your have symptoms of bloody phlegm and mucus discharge from throat which seems to be due to bacterial infection and ulceration inside throat which is leading to your symptoms.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles 3 to 4 times a day and take milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric as it has antimicrobial properties. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Go for blood and sputum test as well. You should avoid spicy food. Take soft foods to avoid irritation to the throat. Throat lozenges one every 4 hours is helpful. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
