Hello,

The pain over chest, blood in saliva may be indicative of various clinical conditions as
- Pneumonia
- Pulmonary tuberculosis
- Others

It should not be neglected as such for casual therapy and you must consult your doctor for the detailed evaluation of this.

In my clinic, I do recommend:
- Blood report with complete blood counts, ESR
- Chest X-ray (PA view)
- Sputum analysis

Depending upon the above reports, I decide the future line of action. If you have any reports available, kindly share with me during follow up discussion for further guidelines.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
