What Is The Treatment For Blood In Phlegm And Chest Pain With Cough? Does It Sound Viral?
3 weeks ago I had a 100 temp and sore throat. Those are both gone but it went into my chest and have been coughing a lot . First the plemgh had some blood twinge, finally it turned white and now it is light green. There is a lot of virus symptons around (my daughter works in ER) and told me to keep drinking lost of fluid. My energy is low too. I am 64 yr. old female. Should I go to urgent care of wait it out?

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Coughing out blood with sputum is a concerning symptom and it is usually seen in conditions like pneumonia.
I suggest you to consult the doctor as early as possible.
And if you have any difficulty in breathing or bluish discoloration of lips, consult emergency.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
