Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear that you are ill with a fever a productive cough which is blood streaked. This sounds like you have either bronchitis or pneumonia. I recommend that you seek medical attention. You will need to be on an antibiotic and supervised by a doctor. The blood in the sputum is seen frequently from trauma of severe cough. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your medical concerns and questions
