HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern this is just nothing to worry highly viscous sputum when try to cough hardly this comes with the staining of blood, (The condition should not have any other symptoms like fever, loss of weight, and appetite ) drink more water if possible have a hot drinks, do not cough forcefully, this could be allergic cough, I usually treat my patient with the Tab. Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day, hope this information helps you, have nice day.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.The blood that come when coughing and clearing throat should be from your throat due to violent action during cough.It can be due ti infection in throat also.But better to rule out that it is not from lung.If you have a long standing cough for more than 2 week then it is better to do a TB test (Sputum AFB) also. In case of infection antibiotics will benefit you.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
