Does Pneumonia Cause Dip In Body Temprature And Choughing With Blood?
Hello, I have a question. My temperature has been running a degree or two under normal for the past week, my hearing is fading, and I have been coughing an awful lot and today I coughed up blood. My question is could I possibly have pneumonia and if so should I go see a doctor?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having pneumonia for few days, the temprtaure is variable as you have quoted in the history but it should be confirmed by recording the temp usinh thermometer.
As your hearing as come down and there was a episode of blood coming out during the act of coughing, it may be a complication of pneumonia.
I would suggest you to consult a Chest physician at the earliest, so that he will take care of your symptoms. Donot neglect approach your doctor at the earliest.
Thank you.
