Colds and coughs, coughing up blood phlegm, are antibiotics helpful?

Patient's question:

Colds and coughs, coughed until the sputum broke the skin, took anti-inflammatory medicine, is it effective?

Doctor's answer:

From the description of symptoms, it appears that this condition is caused by a cold with cough accompanied by pharyngitis, leading to blood-tinged sputum. In such cases, it is recommended to take Yan Ke Ning Juhong Pian orally for further observation. The most common cause is severe cough leading to the rupture and abrasion of small blood vessels in the throat. Another possibility is that lung inflammation damages blood vessels, causing them to break. It is advised to visit a hospital for a chest X-ray and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and facilitate treatment.
