Blood in phlegm (hemoptysis) for the past few days should not be ignored. While it could be due to throat irritation or infection, serious causes like tuberculosis, bronchitis, or other lung issues must be ruled out.
Since this is recurring, I recommend he sees a Pulmonologist (lung specialist) abroad for a basic check-up â like a chest X-ray â to be safe.
Waiting for 1.5 months without evaluation is not advisable.
