What Causes Streaks Of Blood In Sputum Ante Coughing?

I quit smoking two months ago. Caught a cold and started coughing, one morining there was tiny streaks of blood in it, this happend in the morning for three days. I would cough up mucus all day and it would be clear. I went to my doctor and she told me it was nothing to be seriously worried about, is this true?

Hello,

There can be several causes for blood in sputum.

For further assessment I would suggest you to consult with chest physician for detailed clinical examination.

He may procure chest X Ray, sputum examination, complete hemogram as per evaluation.

Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. Take balanced diet.

You can take cough syrup. You may require antibiotics after consultation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
