Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of cough and black granules in phlegm that may be because of respiratory tract infection .

Sputum culture test helpful for further diagnosis.
Consult a pulmonologist for further diagnosis and treatment plan.
Start a antibiotics course under doctor's suggestion.

Drink more water...stay hydrated...
Avoid chill and fry food..
Warm water gargle 3 to 4 time per day..
Excessive straining during coughing may lead to blood in cough..
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..

I hope this will help you.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
