blood

Avatar m tn About 3 days ago I got a real bad sore throat and its getting better, but for the last two days I wake up and I cough once and my mucus is thick with blood in it. It only happens in the morning and then i am fine the rest of the day. I am a smoker and about 3 years ago I had an infected lung.... which was easily fixed with antibiotics.... what can be causing this? I have no other signs of a cold and i am getting regular headache but i have had that my whole life ...
Avatar m tn I have had excessive mucus in the back of my throat for a while now and it is really getting annoying. It's not in my lungs or in my chest, it is just in my throat. I have to cough it up (more like a hocking sound) all the time and it is disgusting and ANNOYING. I have never had allergies in my life and never any big disease problems at all. This thing is just annoying and I am wondering what in the world could be causing it. The mucus is clear with no blood or anything--just clear.
Avatar n tn Make note if there is any relationship between the appearance of blood in your mucus, and your menstrual period. If so, share this information with your doctor.
Avatar m tn if the blood is in your throat, it can be that at night as you're lying flat on your back the mucous is pooling in your throat. Maybe the blood is coming from your throat? You know, before I had my sinus surgery, I had a lot of mucous coming out of my nose and going down the back of my throat. The infected mucous irritated my throat so bad, that my adenoids were quite swollen. The ENT thought at first that was where the problem lies, and booked me in for surgery to get theme removed.
Avatar f tn My 2 week old, for 2 days now, has been have lots and lots of clear mucus in his bowel movements. He is breatfed and poops everytime I feed him. He is really gassy in the evening and crys alot. Has anyone experience mucus in their babys bowel movements. I was wondering if its not mucus that has not cleared up in his lungs and its passes through to his bowels. I am so scared he has something wrong. There is no blood, from what I can tell, just clear jelly looking mucus in his diaper.

Avatar f tn She was 86 and admited the same day I was with an infection in her foot that was the consequence of a recent removal of melanoma on that foot (!?). The next day after admission an infectious disease research specialist told her within my earshot that she had suspected MRSA (culture not thru yet) ad would she sign up for double blind study for an alternative to vancomycin.blah,.blah.blah. I confronted him about isolating her and he said we aren't sure..but we will.
Avatar m tn Friend it does not go into lungs,usually spiting out is better to get rid of infection early,but if we ingest in it goes to stomach and is digested by stomach,if the amount ingested is high,the patient will vomit out automatically.
Avatar m tn If a substance manages to get passed your major airways without causing a blockage, it will soon be removed by the body. You have a natural layer of mucus continuously moving over the surface of your lungs, removing dust etc. Larger problems are broken down by white blood cells that mutate into large macrophages. These literally gobble up rubbish and then die to be removed by the mucus. So, your carrot will be long gone.
Avatar f tn I'm 33 weeks and have mucus discharge with streaks of blood in it. Anyone have any suggestions or idea of what it could be?
Avatar m tn I was put on nebulized Mucomyst (in addition to nebulized Duoneb) and for the first time in years my lungs were clear of phlegm - totally clear. No more choking myself to exhaustion. However for some reason this is no longer on the market (this may be temporary). However what you can do is take an over-the-counter mucolitic. The only worthwhile one is Guaifenesin. You don't want to get Mucinex which has other ingredients, but plain guaifenesin. Also, take 500 mg of vitamin B5.
Avatar f tn If pneumothorax that might be due to “blebs” on the surface of his lungs. If atelectasis, the question is what type of underlying lung disease, if not cystic fibrosis (CF), would predispose him to repeated infections. Might he have an asthma-associated condition called allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) that is characterized by the formation of mucus plugs? Asthma alone would not be responsible for these problems.
Avatar n tn irritation of the throat from violent coughing, blood clot in the lung, bronchiectasis, bronchitis, cancer, cystic fibrosis, inflammation of the blood vessels in the lung, nosebleeds, pneumonia, tuberculosis or inhaling blood into the lungs. Are there any other signs or symptoms present? Chest x-ray, complete blood count and complete medical and physical examination is needed to help with the diagnosis.
Avatar f tn You probably will do better in that department as the lungs clear the debris from your lungs. It takes time, but it does improve. There might be a residual cough from the years of smoking. My sister was much like you but did quit...her lungs are so much better and she definitely has lost that smoker's cough.

Avatar m tn Beginning Sunday, I started spitting blood mixed with mucus in the morning when I woke up, not alot about a spoonful. I don't have any other symptoms (no cough, fever etc) and I feel perfectly fine, the only difference being sometimes during the day I have excess saliva mixed with mucus (no blood) that I spit out now and then. In the mornings though I feel a salty accumulation at the back of my throat and i get out of bed and spit out blood .
Avatar n tn got mucus wich is stuck in throat i do take ventolin inhaler once a day wat can i take or do to take out mucus i feel uncomfartable wat medicine can i take and wat exersize can i do
Avatar n tn Hi, blood in saliva or sputum is called hemoptysis. These symptoms strongly suggest that you may be having acute sore throat infection (most common cause). In such cases tiny tinge of blood in sputum is common. Some other possibilities are polyps, broncheictesis, lung cancer, gastrointestinal bleeding etc. Firstly you need to start a course of broad spectrum antibiotic as an empirical therapy if infection is suspected.

One time my GP came home to me because, i was coughing up blood stained frothy mucus and my lungs were itching and i was very breathless, i had swollen ankles and felt terribly bloatedand my GP said i had fluid on the lungs, he treated me with directics.

Avatar m tn plus achest x-ray which dislayed no problem whith my lungs at all.please help whith an answer and medicine.i am a kenyan living in mombasa.
Avatar f tn I had the mucus and blood thing with my Ulcerative Colitis. Before I got a diagnosis, my PCP thought it was internal hemorrhoids since I just had had my son. I had to submit to two separate manual exams to verify this... not fun. They prescribed hydrocortisone suppositories and they really seemed to help me. I also took on my own psyllium husks every morning mixed with Orange juice. That really helped me as well. I was having the really messy, hard to clean up poops as well.
Avatar n tn For the last couple of days i have been cough congestion in my throat i woke up these morning and as i breath my left lung made a rattling sound i took a few deep breaths and the sound went alway i wanted to know why would i be having this problem i don't smoke
Avatar f tn What started as a sore throat has affected my lungs, difficulty breathing,(mainly exhaling)(raspy sound in throat when exhaling) coughing up rust, white and yellow mucus. I start to feel better, and then bam it gets worse. now it feels like there is gross mucus trapped in my lungs, & i dont know how to get it out. Sometimes after i cough, the phlegm is so bad it makes me sick to my stomach. I dont want to go to Dr. to be told its just a virus.
