Suggest treatment for cough and blood in sputum
Patient: I am having severe Cough and at times sputum gets blood as well, i suspected some throat infection initially but when i had my CBP and Chest X ray, reports showed my Haemoglobin as 12.6 ( male ) and in Chest X-Ray it mentioned Prominent Bronchovascular Marking two lobes, please suggest ? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. And it can cause coughing, hemoptysis (blood in sputum) and prominent bronchovascular markings  on chest x ray. If you are smoker than you should quit smoking as soon as possible. You need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs are also important in bronchitis. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
