Blood in Sputum

2017-03-13 17:52:31
Blood in sputum is observed intermittently from past 3-4 days. Not always, but twice or thrice in a day especially after I wake up from sleep. Blood quantity is very minimal...Like a very small tissue or a drop. Is this of major concern? Whom should I interact to get this checked? I have quit smoking some 8 months back but never had any issue while I used to smoke.
