Why is there blood in the sputum when coughing up in the morning?

Many people find that there is blood in their sputum when they cough in the morning. When faced with this situation, you need to first understand the cause of coughing up blood, because there are many reasons for coughing up blood, such as upper respiratory tract infection bronchitis, and tuberculosis, etc., which may cause this symptom.

1. First of all, don’t panic. Vomiting blood/coughing up blood is not necessarily a terrible health problem. There is no need to panic too much. This problem can be solved with correct understanding and correct handling. There is absolutely no need to worry that you have a serious illness or will die soon because of the scenes in film and television works.

2. If the patient is coughing up blood, pay attention to whether the color of the blood is bright, whether there are bubbles and mucus in the contents, and whether the amount of blood is large? If you have the above symptoms, it is a problem with your respiratory system. It is usually upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, or even tuberculosis.

3. If the patient vomits blood, pay attention to whether the color of the vomited blood is dark red, whether there are food residues or yellow-green liquid in the contents, and whether the amount of blood is large? If the above symptoms are met, it can be diagnosed as a digestive tract or stomach disease. Common symptoms include gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric ulcer, etc.

4. If the patient's coughed up/vomited blood is bright in color, the amount of blood is relatively small, often accompanied by blood streaks, and the patient has a swollen and sore throat, it can be basically determined that it is a throat problem. It is also related to the dry season and the heat of the body. Patients just need to pay attention to replenishing water, removing heat and reducing inflammation.
