How Can Hemoptysis Be Treated?

Hi, I went in for a physical recently and asked the examiner about my cough and swollen lymph nodes. She informed me that it seemed like pharyngitis. As the week progressed i developed slight Hemoptysis. I am concerned that it is something more serious then a simple case of pharyngitis. What is your professional opinion? I would also like to include that some of the sputum is yellow, some clear, and some gray.

Hello,

As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow this -

Do a clinical examination by your doctor [pulmonologist]and to confirm exact cause do few pathological investigations like [CBC with differential, T-Spot.TB, CT scan, sputum culture, and ESR]
If found positive, then follow lifestyle modifications like this -

1) Stay home. Don't go to work or sleep in a room with other people during the first few weeks of treatment.

2) Try to ventilate the room.

3) Try to cover your mouth. Use a tissue to cover your mouth anytime you laugh, sneeze or cough. Put the dirty tissue in a bag, seal it and throw it away.

4) Try to wear a mask. Wearing a surgical mask when you're around other people during the first three weeks of treatment may help lessen the risk of transmission.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
