Blood while coughing

2017-08-26 12:44:55
My mother has inflammation problem in her neck. There is this constant mild pain. Also, blood comes out during coughing. We got it checked from a doctor who said its just small rashes in the neck. We have been consulting him for a while but no relief. Kindly suggest if there is any serious problem. If yes then what should be the further course of action? Thanks in advance
