Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Bloody sputum can come from common forms of infection in the lungs and airways, such as acute bronchitis or pneumonia.
I suggest to do an x ray to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile,I suggest giving Tylenol to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest using a mucolytic such as Mucinex for the phlegm.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
