Hello. Welcome to HCM.

I am Dr Jigar(ID Specialist).

Blood streaked sputum for such prolong period must be evaluated thoroughly.

In my opinion you should consult physician and get thoroughly examined yourself.

Also get chest x ray done. In blood reports cbc , perioheral smear and BT, CT, APTT should be done.

Give sputum specimen for routine and microscopic examination to rule out infectious agents.

Reasons for such illness are many like:
Bronchitis
Tuberculosis
Autoimmune diseases
Malignancy etc.

So you should get it confirmed..i hope this will help you..Give your valuable feedback.
