EAR, NOSE & THROAT COMMUNITY
Should I be concerned about size of phlegm, as well as color?

Should I be concerned about size of phlegm, as well as color?

Two nights ago, my throat became irritated.  This morning, while I was in the shower, I coughed up a silver-dollar size phlegm "wad" and it also contained blood.  Up through this evening, I've only coughed up trace amount of phlegm 3-4 times, once containing just a streak of blood.  My brother said it may have something to do with having acid reflux.  But my concern is the size of the phlegm produced and the presence of blood.
My throat is still scratchy (and I'm now hoarse) but it's only minor irritation.  No other symptoms to report.
