What is a cough with sputum with blood?

Question:
Hello doctor. First, I had a sore throat, then fever, cough, runny nose, occasional headache, and after a week of buying oral medicine, all of them were almost cured. However, only the cough didn't go away and it worried me a lot, because sometimes when I cough it looks like blood comes out at the same time as the phlegm. Ask your doctor for advice. Thank you doctor.

Hello doctor. Recently I have had a mild cough, but recently I coughed with sputum with blood not continuously, but only 1 or 2 days ago! And I want to ask you what disease I have, doctor. Thank you very much doctor.

Hello. With the condition as you describe, you need to see a specialist for a lung scan, blood test and sputum test to be able to diagnose and have a treatment plan.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
