spitting copious amount of blood with fever ang a long time cough is indicative of tuberculosis. better submit yourself for an xray, sputum exam and a PPD or mantoux test.. if the results turn negative try to check your gastrointestinal area for peptic ulcer disease.. always remember that early diagnosis is the only chance for cure.. hope this helps..

It could be gingivitis or gum bleeding, but consult a doctor to find out if it's something serious...

There are quite a lot of reasons why it is so. Yeah, the most common would be blood from the gum. It usually wears off easily and the bleeding will stop real soon. However, if the blood accompanies other sensation like coughing or if it is happening because you feel something strange on other parts of your body (notably around the stomach area), I suggest you go to the nearest hospital and have yourself treated at the emergency room. Especially if it is continuous and if it is accompanied by phlegm. Take care my friend.

Stronger, were you cleaning your teeth at the time? Sometimes it is possible to damage the gum slightly with your toothbrush and cause it to bleed - or you might have bitten the inside of your mouth. However, if you've noticed pains in your stomach or throat, it could be something more serious so it would be a very good idea to visit your doctor - just in case! Good luck.

Thanks for your comment! I have examined my mouth,and there is no wounds or pains. Maybe there is something wrong with my lung,er, I caught cold and cough a lot. I've visit my doctor yesterday,but he said nothing serious. I'll go again and X-ray my lungs Thank you so much!

if there are no other symptoms spitting up blood has to do with the nose, mouth or pharynx.
