Suggest Remedy Respiratory Infection With Bloody Sputum
Hi, I'm a 42-year old non-smoking female, 5'6 128 pounds, who was hospitalized for pneumonia in Jan. 2012. This week I developed an upper respiratory infection with blood in sputum. It's been 4 days and doesn't seem to be improving. I'm wary of taking antibiotics since my immunity won't get a chance to rebuild.
