Hello
blood in sputum nerve be normal
you should be worried but not too much I am there to help you out in best possible way

this could be related to acute bronchitis, tuberculosis acute severe pharyngitis or tonsillitis and lung cancer or heart disease

in my opinion you should consult a ENT surgeon or a pulmonologist for clinical examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC sputum microscopy and culture

you may require a course of antibiotics preferably penicillin group of drugs under supervision of your doctor

You can do gargling with chlorhexidine mouthwash orwarm saline
steam inhalation
Hope.this helps you
best wishes
