I've got a high fever which started last night. And I started coughing out dots of blood about one hour ago. So far it has occurred twice. The phlegm is greenish yellow, and on two occasions, came out with tiny dots of blood (less than a teaspoon).
It means you have an infection of some sort, likely in the sinus cavities, or you coughed hard enough to create a small tear or broke a capillary. Greenish yellow drainage means it's time to visit your friendly doctor. Meantime, use Tylenol and Motrin to control your fever if it gets to 102 or higher and don't worry about it until then. Fever is a great defense, body cells function well but virus and bacteria don't- they can't reproduce, so the immune system has a jump on whipping gerbie buns. Stay proper upright so the drainage goes down, lower the thermostat for easier time breathing, rest, and drink. That will help matters until you see the doctor. Don't worry about the spots of blood. Nothing major is broken, and you won't die of a hemorrhage. It just happens sometimes.

It's pretty common, but I'd go see a doctor just in case. My intuition tells me that you're fine, but why not just see a doctor so that you don't worry anymore about it. I hope this is helpful.

It means that you need to see a doctor immediately and to stop screwing around on the internet.

Go see a doctor. It sounds like you have some infection in your sinus or lungs. You most likely will need some antibiotics. I wouldn't mess around it could get serious, call a doctor ASAP.

Cough that's violent ruptures tiny blood vessels that you see as blood in your phlegm.This's the usual cause but more serious disorders as tuberculosis/cancer are to be thought too,but rare.Your phlegm's greenish yellow+fever is sign of infection.Infection properly cured stops any more blood from coming.Further on if blood comes,the first thing that a dr does's xRay chest,or sputum examination.I dont think yours is serious problem,just bacteria in lungs.

Coughing up blood is not normal. No matter how small the quantity. Any blood where it's not meant to be warrants medical attention.
Possible causes for your haemoptysis (coughing up blood) are pneumonia, Tuberculosis (have you been vaccinated?), heart disease (unlikely in your case).
It could be blood coming from another source such as your nose, mouth or throat but the way you describe the blood being in your phlegm i advise you to go to the docs asap. And i mean TODAY.

Pneumonia. You need to consult a doctor and get urgent medical attention.

I have the same exact thing right now. It sounds like you have a sinus infection or some other infection since you have a greenish yellow discharge. If you have pressure in your forehead and face then it probably is a sinus infection. Either way, infections need to be treated by antibiotics so go see your doctor. Stay home and have fluids (warm ones like tea, soup, and hot chocolate are best) and get plenty of rest!
