Sudden onset of cough associated with blood needs to be evaluated in detail to rule out any sinister causes. He may need to undergo detailed clinical examination and tests such as X RAY chest, CT thorax, sputum examination, bronchoscopy depending on the clinical findings
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
