I've been having some blood in my mucus the past couple of mornings, and it's making me pretty anxious. I've had a cough and cold recently, and I'm wondering if that could be causing it. I'm also a smoker, and I traveled to higher altitudes last week. Could any of these be the reason for the blood? I'm really nervous about going to the doctor and getting tested. What do you think I should do?

Is it safe to take lorfast Am every day for allergies, or should I wait and only use it when those symptoms start up?
