📖What is Coughing Blood?

Coughing blood, or hemoptysis, is the coughing up of blood or blood-streaked sputum originating from the lungs or airways. It can range from small streaks of blood in mucus to large amounts of frank blood, and always warrants medical evaluation given its potentially serious underlying causes. The amount and appearance of blood can help doctors determine the urgency and likely source.
