The difference between hemoptysis and hemoptysis

I believe that many people confuse hemoptysis and hemoptysis, because the symptoms of these two phenomena in the human body are actually very similar. Moreover, people who do not have professional knowledge do not have a particularly clear understanding of the difference between hemoptysis and hemoptysis. In fact, although the two phenomena of hemoptysis and hemoptysis are similar, there are great differences between them. Today I will introduce to you the difference between hemoptysis and hemoptysis.

Coughing up blood. When you cough, there is blood in the sputum, usually blood threads or small blood spots mixed with sputum.
