Why Am I Having Blood In Sputum After Sneezing?
I started aerobic exercise 4 weeks ago and 2 weeks before I started sneezing (pain in throat after sneeze) blood in sputum after sneezing. Sneezing occurs mostly in morning after waking up and blood in sputum thereafter for few minutes to hrs. Please guide me in this regard.

Dear Friend
If you have blood in sputum or in discharge of sneeze , it can be because of some 1.Nasal Polyp
2.Pulmonary Tuberculosis
3.Malignancy
4.Sinusitis
5.Coagulation Problem
If it had been 1-2 episodes , it would have been simply due to upper respiratory tract infection. But since it is persisting an evaluation is required.
Get the following tests
1. Xray Chest And X ray PNS (Water view)
2. Hemogram with ESR
3. Sputum For AFB
Get your local examination from a doctor to see for polyp.
