I've been dealing with a dry cough for over a month now, and it never seemed to completely go away. Now it's back with that annoying metallic taste in my mouth, and I even had a fever yesterday.

I'm experiencing a sore throat, and sometimes I'm noticing mucus with a bit of blood coming from my mouth. Could you help me understand what's going on and what remedies I might try? I'm a bit concerned about it.

Accepted Answer

Blood in sputum during a sore throat can be due to ruptured blood vessels because of inflammation and congestion in the throat. It is harmless in minor quantities. If symptoms such as high fever or chills begin to develop with associated breathing difficultes, a more detailed examination may be warranted through an in person physician consult.
