Blood in the sputum in smokers needs to be evaluated in detail by clinical examination and tests such as X RAY chest, CT thorax and bronchoscopy depending on necessity. Without tests it is difficult to comment on diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
