Coughing up phlegm with blood in?!


Question: Coughing up phlegm with blood in!?
This is a bit gross, but I keep getting a buildup of phlegm in the back of my throat accompanied by a sore feeling!. My throat isn't constantly sore like you normally get with a cold and sore throat!.!.!.only seems to be when a clot has formed there!. When I cough up the phlegm it's really thick (a clot) and and contains blood!. I haven't been coughing excessively, in fact hardly at all, (other than occasionally to bring up this phlegm) so the blood probably isn't a result of coughing too much!.

Could this be some sort of throat infection!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is not likely to be a throat infection, however as a general rule, anyone complaining of haemoptisis, ( coughing up blood,) needs a chest X-Ray, so go see your GP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
