How Can Cough With Mucus And Blood Be Treated Through Home Remedies?
Hi i need some advice here. I was resently sick about 2 weeks ago and i took medicine and it seam to do the job. I had a cold with a bad cough. After the cold went away but the cough didnt. I stop using the medication and now now the cough is less but i now have mucus. Yesterday it looked like it all whent away but tonight the cough came back with mucus and the mucus has blood. What homenremedy can i use now befor seeing a doctor
If there are stripes of clear red colour blood with the sputum then this is due to the throat being scratched by a cough and nothing to worry. Drinking plenty of fluids and taking guaifenesin syrup to help soften a cough might be helpful. Honey is also helpful for a cough.
If there is blood mixed with the sputum, not just thin stripes, then you will need a visit with the doctor to rule out important conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
