Brief Answer:
Start the medicines.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
I have reviewd your prescription. Your doctor is treating you for Acute Upper Respiratory Tract Infection that can also cause blood in sputum.
You can start on the treatment and if you again get blood in sputum then I would advise you to get investigated.
Get following:
1. Xray Chest
2. Hemogram with ESR
3. Coagulation Profile.
If you don't get a repeat episode you should simply continue with the advised treatment for 5 days.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
