Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are going through.

You report as following:
- symptoms: cough
- drugs: antibiotic Klaricid

The third day you took Klaricid, you noted cough with blood. If coughing has not stopping although you started this antibiotic, then, please take note that the mucosa of your upper respiratory tract is getting more fragile from inflammation.

So, it is easier to get lacerated, during which blood vessels with be damaged too causing cough with blood.

You are not telling your age and gender and if you are taking other meds. if you are taking blood thinners, then, stop using Klaricid and report to your doctor.

Otherwise, contact your doctor as soon as possible and discuss about this new symptom but do not stop Klaricid.

Until you see your doctor, I advise to take :
- mucolytics (e.g. carbocystein) to dissolve phlegm
- anti-histaminics to reduce inflammation

Altogether with antibiotic will help ease/stop cough.

Wish fast recovery.
