Is there a relationship between bloodshot sputum and pharyngitis?

Blood in sputum often makes people extremely afraid and worried. It is one of the symptoms of many diseases, such as bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, tumor and nasal diseases, which should be paid attention to. Patients should go to the hospital for detailed examination as soon as possible to make a clear diagnosis.

The blood spit out from the mouth generally comes from the following three parts:

1. Lower respiratory tract. Cough, known as "hemoptysis", indicates lung, bronchus, organ or throat lesions.

2. digestive tract. Frequent vomiting, called "hematemesis", indicates gastric and esophageal lesions or other joke system organ lesions, such as cirrhosis.

3. pharynx. Bleeding from the mouth is called "vomiting blood" or "hemoptysis". The following possibilities should be considered for pharyngeal bleeding: various inflammatory diseases of the pharynx, foreign body injuries in the pharynx (such as fish bones, hard grass sticks, jujube stones, etc.), pharyngeal tumors (such as nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, etc.), blood diseases, etc.

Pharyngitis can make pharyngeal mucosa hyperemia, small blood vessels dilate, and the permeability of blood vessel wall is enhanced by inflammation. In addition, severe cough caused by inflammatory secretions can easily cause capillary rupture, blood staining of pharyngeal secretions, bloodshot sputum or blood clots, which is more obvious after dry air or getting up in the morning. However, the bleeding caused by pharyngitis is generally not much blood. If the amount of blood spit out is relatively large, the red blood lasts for a long time, or there is blood in the nasal mucus when sucking the nasal mucus, other inflammatory diseases or nasal diseases should be considered. Older people must pay attention to the possibility of suffering from nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

if there is blood or bloodshot sputum, please seek medical advice immediately. Check the diagnosis and actively cooperate with the treatment.
