Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum).
This is mostly seen with lung infection, tuberculosis, bronchitis and lung cancer.
Possibility of lung infection related hemoptysis is more likely.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x ray.
You may need higher antibiotic (higher than Biaxin) and other supportive drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
