I would recommend asking your GP surgery for a sputum specimen bottle as soon as possible and then take in a specimen to your GP for testing. Take it one step at a time but do be proactive. This does need investigating.

I have asthma and bronchectisis and often get blood in my sputum. Don't panic but do get it checked our with your GP, it sounds like a chest infection

Jubilee is right i have Bronchial Asthma and COPD. Quite often its a case of small vessels bursting because of the constant coughing but you do need to see your doc for it to be checked out.

It warrants a quick visit to the emergency room or GP, I do hope that it's

something that you can get rid of soon. Feel Better soon.
