Patient's question:
The workplace is a dusty environment. Staying in a dusty environment for a long time often causes coughing, and thick phlegm may reappear, and sometimes blood may also be coughed up. The unit has arranged occupational disease examinations for long-term employees and found that it is bronchiectasis damage. What is the cause of bronchiectasis damage? How is this disease treated?Doctor's answer:
Bronchiectasis damage is caused by severe infectious injury to capillaries, which can easily lead to symptoms of blood in the stool. Oral antibiotics can be taken for anti-inflammatory treatment. If the amount of blood in the stool is significant, topical medications should also be used for treatment. Additionally, it is important to carefully monitor for any recurrence of fever. If fever symptoms occur, further medical consultation is necessary, and intravenous fluids may be administered for treatment.
