Brief Answer:
Need not worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
So I can take negative answer for the rest of my questions.
Mild blood staining of sputum is common for few days with respiratory tract infection.For such cases,I usually give an anti-histaminic and cough suppressant for 5-7 days-it will be cleared in toto.
The lower abdominal pain,as you are having tiredness also,we have to rule out urinary/gynecological infection(especially because you had a hysteroscopy recently).A urine routine examination/culture and gynecological examination will sort out this.Once these are ruled out,we can manage with simple analgesics for a few days.Otherwise,it will need antibiotics too.Your doctor will guide you.
Meanwhile,take some rest,have a healthy light diet with enough green leafy veges and fruits,and drink enough fluids.
Hope I have cleared your doubt.If you have no further questions,you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
Wishing you a faster and complete recovery,Thank you.
