My husband's 28 and he's been dealing with a sore throat and pain for a few days now, but he's not running a fever. Yesterday morning there was blood in his sputum, and it happened again today. Could you please give us some advice on what this might be about? We're a bit concerned.

Severe pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx) causes severe irritation in the throat, which results in violent bouts of cough. This cough can sometimes cause rupture of some small blood vessels, which results in small amounts of blood being expectorated with sputum. It is no cause for concern, but if the bleeding persists and increases in quantity, a physician consult is necessary.
