I had a bad cold recently. It was in my upper respiratory tract and didn’t affect my chest but did affect sinuses, throat, nasal passages and ears - like with any normal cold. I had nosebleeds too.
What has worried me was that when I coughed up some mucous from my throat, there were tiny streaks of blood on a couple of occasions. It looked like a little thread . This hasn’t happened before when I’ve had a cold.
My cold has all but cleared up now and no more coughing or other symptoms at all but I’m worried the blood and think it may be a sign of something sinister.
My husband says he has had this before and it’s nothing to worry about.
I used to smoke a little but haven’t for over 20 years.
I wondered if anyone has experienced the same before I trouble my poor GP again
