Every day I cough up what looks like a scab with ugly mucous and blood

It may be way to late but hopefully you can see this and let me know how you are. The same thing has been happening to be for the past couple of years. It seems to get better in the winter and once spring comes around, it gets bad.
The closest someone has been able to explain to me was one ear nose mouth doctor. She says it’s some type of crusting on a node (I can’t remember which one) due to antihistamines or something like that. I’m going to look more into it because it is seemingly getting worse for me.
I hope that you’re better.

Welcome @violetsmom. Getting worse in the spring might indicate an allergy-related cause, which it sounds like you and your doctor are pursuing. I found this article that describes several possible causes.

Do you live in a climate where spring brings pollen and allergies? You mention that your situation is getting worse. Do you mean worse these past days and weeks or is the situation worsening every spring year over year?
@sharonk76, I'm wondering how you are doing? How is your breathing?
