Slight blood in sputum

2022-04-21 01:56:50
I am not experiencing cough. I might have slight throat irritation sometimes. But I could see blood in the sputum since last 3-4 days. Everytime I spit, it was with mucus and very slight in quantity. Is it normal or only because of irritation in throat? Do I need to worry about it?
