What Causes Drainage Of Blood From Nose And Mouth?

I live in Jamaica, and recently, I had a dry cough, for about a week. I went to the doctor and he told me to just buy an over the counter cough syrup. I did. I bought histatussin. Its now 2 weeks later, I got a fever, and now, I have cold. Every time I cough and I see blood clots and bright red blood and mucus. Now when I blow out my nose, there is red blood. Do I have an infection?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain blood fever, cough and phlegm are signs of viral infection and blood in cough and nose can be due to trauma and inflammation in the lining of throat and nose leading to bleeding on stimulation..
Bleeding can also be from sinuses if there is inflammation and infection in the sinuses..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can do a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like throat swab culture,blood tests etc can help in ruling out the exact cause and treatment can be advised according to confirmation of cause..
As of now you can take decongestants like Phenylephrine, mucolytics like Bromohexine, do steam inhalations and take Acetaminophen to reduce fever..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods.
Sip on plenty of warm water and take ample of rest..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
