What To Do For The Blood Stains During Coughing And Gagging?

Hello I have been coughing / gagging blood for the last year.. however today when i was brushing my teeth it seemed to be more blood now.. the is bright red.. and doesn't seem to have any clots. I don't think its from my gum as i dont see signs of gum bleeding.

thanks for your query, the bleeding from the gums could be because of gum infection...the gum infection could be superimposed with your previous cough associated bleeding...consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned and for the cough you consult a pulmonologist...you need to get your blood investigations done including the platelet count and INR to rule out any bleeding disorder.. i hope my answer will help you..take care..
I find this answer helpful
