Hello!
Thank you for your query.

Based on the information above, we understand that you noticed there’s blood in your mucus and when you cough. We will try to help you.

For your information, bloody mucus or cough most likely indicate that the problem originates from the respiratory tract. While if the blood found with food residue, it is more likely to come from the digestrive tract. Bloody mucus can be due to:

  • Tuberculosis
  • Pneumonia
  • Bronchiectasis
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Pulmonary oedema
  • Lung cancer
  • Throat or respiratory tract cancer

The list above shows general diagnosis and causes of bloody mucus. We are unable to give accurate treatment advice or diagnosis without your medical history, physical examination and clinical investigations. We suggests that you refer this problem to our doctors via online consultation. Hope this answers your question.
Thank you.
