Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Coughing out red streaked sputum is known as hemoptysis.
And this can be seen in pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchitis etc.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out above mentioned causes.
If both are normal then no need to worry much.
You should start antihistamine drugs for relief in cough.
Since it is prescribed drug, you need doctor 's prescription for this.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
