Blood in phlegm for the first time.

[rmgulati]

I am asthmatic since around past 30 years. This morning I found blood in my phlegm when I was brushing my teeth. This is the first time I found blood in my phlegm. I am a non-smoker, non-alcoholic & vegetarian (often I eat eggs too). Kindly help.

Thanks.

Was the blood from brushing your teeth that got mixed with your phlegm? I know that has happened to me. If it was alot and with coughing, mention it to your doc. I also get streaks in my mucous from an irritated throat (from coughing excessively due to a cold etc..).I always say this though, if in doubt, always talk to your doctor. Sunny
