Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Blood in phlegm is due to infection of sinuses, throat or lungs. If there is bleeding in the stomach ulcer, blood comes out in vomit.

You should therefore, consult your doctor, who will evaluate you to localize the site of bleed/infection and prescribe appropriate treatment.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
