What Causes Cough And Blood In The Sputum?
This afternoon I rinsed my mouth out and there was a little blood in the sink. I spit a little blood three more times, made myself cough a little more blood up and I was ok. About 15 minutes later I started getting a scratchy throat. No more blood but my throat is getting a little worse. Should I be very alarmed?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
yes. most of the cardiac medications on (blood thinners) in elderly patients do have bleeding from throat or any infection from throat or lungs can have this.
You need to evaluate with blood tests and ent examination. kindly visit an ent surgeon.
All the best.
