General Q&A Answer A457
Blood in phlegm (haemoptoe) can be caused by severe respiratory infection(s) or tumor(s). Sometimes a very strong cough can damage the respiratory mucosa and cause small bleeding. You can visit your doctor and take an X-ray image of the lungs. Standard blood analyses (blood picture, sedimentation…) are also requested to help identify the origin of the bleeding.
