Repeated coughing

2017-11-05 05:36:19
I have had viral fever for the past 6 days. Slowly i have recovered from all the headaches, bodyaches, but the sore throat still prevailed. Now i am getting blood along with the phlegm whenever i am coughing and spitting. Should i be scared about this much blood? Is there anything i can do to stop the blood. Please help.

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat infection in this season. Blood in sputum is usually because of forced cough which sometimes ruptures small blood vessels. You need to use cough syrups and steam inhalation for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
