Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Bloody sputum is also referred to as hemoptysis.
Causes of bloody sputum include lung infection such pneumonia or bronchitis.
I suggest to do a chest xray to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
I recommend to use a Mucolytic to treat the cough.
I suggest to drink liquids and rest.
To treat the nosebleed you should use a saline nasal spray .
If the symptoms continue, I suggest using a cycle of antibiotics.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
