Blood in sputum after taking steam
I have low grade fever that hardly reaches 100 but this is happening for the third time in a span of 4 months, I took inhalation and noticed small blood covered up in thick cough. This has happened after I caught cold and got low grade fever for the third time. I do have congestion. What could be the problem? Is it concerning?
