Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Blood in sputum is known as hemoptysis. Lung infection is the most common cause for hemoptysis in asthma patient. So get done chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia (lung infection). If chest x-ray is normal then get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) because worsening of underlying asthma can also cause hemoptysis. So you may need strict control of asthma. So better to first rule out infection and try to achieve good control of asthma. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
