QuestionWithin the last two days, i have been feeling sick. I woke up yesterday and finally began to loosen the mucus in my throat. it doesn't happen all the time when i cough but the last few times i have been coughing it up, there have been a few times where i have been seeing blood in my mucus. i am hoping that it is just from the irritation of my throat but i don't know for sure.
AnswerDear George,
There are a few important things I need to know before I can try and answer your question.
1). Are you a smoker?
2). Do you drink alcohol?
3). Have you been experiencing a productive cough with difficulty breathing?
4). Have you been running a fever or been having chills?
5). Do you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
6). Have you ever had pneumonia in the past?
Answering the above questions will provide a baseline for me to answer your question.
