Blood in phlegm
I have developed irritation from nose to back of throat for the last 2-3 days. Although I have not yet consumed any medicine, I am repeatedly taking steam inhalation with karvol plus 2-3 times a day, and some saline nasal spray if needed. Today, after taking steam, I saw a good amount of phlegm smoothly came into my mouth from the back of the nasal canal. When I spat it in the wash basin, I found it had blood stains. However I didn't find fresh blood inside my nose or mouth. Do I need to be cautious of it? Or shall I continue with taking steam, as my condition has not aggravated in the last 2-3 days and gradually feeling better.
Regards.

Karvol plus can sometimes irritate the nose. Try taking steam with just water if bleeding in phlegm still continues. If thereâs no bleeding continue taking steam with karvol plus
What is the nasal spray that youâre using?
