Patient's question:
Doctor, it got colder here recently, but I got a cold because I didn't wear enough clothes. This time, the cold is particularly severe—fever, coughing, especially severe coughing. Even after taking some medicine, it doesn't help. I want to know what to do if blood is present in the coughed sputum?Doctor's answer:
Now I have a fever, cough, coughing up phlegm, and the phlegm contains blood. It is primarily suspected to be bronchitis or pneumonia. It is common to be caused by viruses, bacteria, and other infectious agents. Taking oral medication has little effect. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for tests such as a complete blood count, Mycoplasma antigen, and a chest X-ray. After the condition is diagnosed, follow the doctor's guidance to take standardized medication and treatment. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more water, eating more vegetables and fruits, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
