Hi. I understand your concerns. There are many causes for blood in sputum. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. as you will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigations like chest x ray.
Hope your questions were answered.
Thanks.

There are many causes for blood in sputum. You should consult pulmonologist. And chest x ray and sputum examinations and if required ct scan of chest should be done.
