Brief Answer:

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum).
Hemoptysis is commonly seen in
1. Bronchitis
2. Tuberculosis.
3. Pneumonia.
4. Lung cancer
5. Bronchiectesis etc.
Bronchitis is common in smokers. So quit smoking as soon as possible.
Consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out tuberculosis, pneumonia, lung cancer and bronchiectesis.
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.

Brief Answer:
Do you have recent travelling?
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
Sorry to say but I can't get you.
Initially you said you are having greenish sputum with blood.
And you also told that you are not having cough.
Sputum is secretions from lung. These secretions can not come out until you cough
Sputum is something related to lungs, not throat.
So please let me understood this
1. Are you having cough throughout the day?
2. Do you have morning cough?
3. Is greenish sputum with blood come in morning only?
4. Do you have recent travel history?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
