What Does Dried Blood Discharge When Coughing Indicate?
I sometimes cough and spit what appears to be dried blood.....sometimes when I sneeze or blow my nose, dried blood comes out there too. I don't have any chronic health problems, like asthma or allergies, so I don't know how or why dried blood would accumulate in my nose & throat, but what could I do to clear the area of all dried blood once & for all?
