Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. She is having hemoptysis (blood in sputum, coughing). She also had exposure to chemicals. So during this exposure, she might have inhaled this chemical in her lungs. This kind of inhalation lung injury can cause bronchitis and bronchitis is most common cause for hemoptysis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system. She will need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) along with anti inflammatory drugs. Don't worry, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
