Blood in sputum

2019-04-04 13:51:44
He had cough and running nose since last 10-12 days. Steam inhaling and other home remedy helped to recover. Hasn' t taken any medication. Now he observed blood in sputum from last 5-6 days. No other complain he has. Just worried about blood in sputum. What specialization of doctor I should get this checked? Is it reason to worry?
