Can nasal mucosal erosion cause blood streaks in phlegm?

Dr. Xu Gang
Nasal mucosal erosion may cause blood streaks in phlegm. This is mainly because the nasal cavity and oral cavity are connected; if the nasal mucosa becomes eroded, it may lead to blood-tinged sputum. However, the presence of blood in phlegm could also be due to tracheal or oral diseases. It is recommended that patients visit a正规 hospital for a comprehensive examination, determine the exact cause based on test results, and then follow medical advice for targeted treatment.
