Patient's question:
It has been more than two months. At first, I coughed frequently, but there were no issues with my trachea or lungs—just a sore throat. Later, I didn’t cough much anymore, but there was still sticky phlegm. My nose was always stuffy, dry, and I kept sneezing. I also had stomach issues. This morning, the sticky phlegm I coughed up had blood streaks.Past Treatment and Effects:
I received IV fluids for a few days, which improved the condition. Every time I was auscultated, there were no issues with my trachea or lungs.
Kind of Help Needed:
What could cause blood streaks in my cough? Is it related to my stomach issues?
Doctor's answer:
Pharyngitis is related to yin deficiency and internal heat. You can often drink tea made with loquat fruit. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and reduce the intake of spicy, fried, and irritating foods.Suggestions: Commonly used medications include anti-inflammatory drugs such as Amoxicillin, Azithromycin, Yinhuang Granules, which can be combined with Golden lozenges and Watermelon Frost lozenges. Pay attention to drinking plenty of water and expelling moisture promptly, as this can alleviate the condition. I hope my explanation helps you.
