What Causes Blood In The Phlegm?
My mother (59,who has COPD, previous cancer{ovarian} and a variety of other major health concerns) just (yesterday) had surgery to debulk a tumor (squamous cell carcinoma) at the base of her tongue and there is some blood in her phlegm... Is this normal, or should we get her medical attention?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have bleeding from her squamous cell carcinoma surgery site. She should go for x ray chest once to rule out cause of bleeding from lung disease. Then she should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
