Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Reasons for blood in phlegm varies from infection of lung with pneumonia,
bronchitis, tuberculosis,pulmonary embolism & so on. In your case use of
blood thinners is of major concern.
*Should get back to your Physician immediately & get evaluated for the
same to control it.
Hope this clears your query.
