According to your symptoms (“frequent
clear colorless flum forming in the
throat”, “thick patch of blood with a
fowl smell”, throat irritation) could
indicate a possible respiratory infection.
More precise location of the infection can
be found out after performing diagnostic
procedures:
1. Clinical examination – inspection,
auscultation;
2. X-ray image of the lungs;
3. Microbiological examination of the
phlegm.
You may want to consult your GP, first,
and then an internist, if necessary.
