Answers:
Do you have a hard, hacking cough.? That could break small blood vessels in you throat and cause the blood. And most often if the blood is bright red it's from your nose or throat. If you were to cough up clots or more than just pinkish with streaks of blood you'd need to get to an ER right away.Let them tell you it's nothing rather than taking a chance. They will examine you and do a chest xray and bloodwork.
God bless and help you through this.Health Question & Answer

well if u had just woken up then its normal phlem tends to build up over night in the chest but if its starting to look more red then pink then that could be bad just keep an eye on it and see a doctor either way you may just have a chest infection a course of antibiotics would do the trickHealth Question & Answer
