Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

The described symptoms should not be taken lightly. Please mention whether you have a smoking habit and the duration of having bloody sputum in the morning. You need to consult a lung specialist and an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist for an examination. You need to do some investigations with blood works, an X-ray of the lung, and an inspection of the throat using a laryngoscope.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
