What Causes Blood Tinged Mucus In Cough?
Question: My husband has had a cold with a cough for about a week; no temperature, headaches, or rash.
His saliva is white and he coughs up a little blood or blood tinged mucus occasionally. Is that
just normal for a cough? He has guaifenesin syrup for the cough.

Dear Ms,
Its not usual for individuals to present with blood during coughing.
Presence of severe Pharyngitis can sometimes present with blood in mucous while coughing.
The symptom of presence of blood while coughing cannot be left unattended. It requires thorough evaluation by a Physician. I would suggest you to consult your Physician for thorough examination and further evaluation.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
