Suggest Treatment For Fever And Cough With Phlegm

33 male with high fever for two days and an aggressive cough every few minutes. I woke up this morning with mucas that I coughed up and just a little blood came out as the spell increased. I have a running nose, buts not severe. I have not much of an mental appetite, but my stomach is a lite hungry. I'm am drinking water and resting as much as possible. 600mg Ibprophen every 4hours isn't cutting the fever. I do have more work stress than normal.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum) with high grade fever and coughing.
So we should should definitely rule out pneumonia and bronchitis in your case.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and anti inflammatory drug like paracetamol.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
