[|Human|] Lately, Ive been seeing light to small clots of blood in phlem, like in the morning or when I gather flem from deep in my throat as to spit. It is more prominent, the next morning after drinking at most times 1-2 glasses of red wine. What should I do?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having hemoptysis (blood in phlegm). Hemoptysis is commonly seen in lung conditions like pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchitis and lung cancer. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out infection and cancer. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. If both these are normal than no need to worry much because you might be having friction bleeding due to coughing. So anti histamine and cough suppressant Chat Doctor.  But better to first rule out lung pathology. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
