Hello
Thanks for your query.
The cause of this blood in phlegmen may be many like - pneumonia, bronchiectasis, lung cancer, tuberculosis etc. I think you need to have a HRCT scan thorax for better evaluation of lung pathology. You need to consult a pulmonologist soon and go for a detailed work up to find out the cause of hemoptysis.
Thank You.
