Blood in phelgm.

2020-10-29 14:43:46
I was having cough and cold for few days and also ran a temperature of around 103.5( maximum). Took Azithromycin 500 for 5 days Thereafter no fever. On the last day of taking antibiotics, I coughed up blood twice and thereafter few spots which resolved the next day. It has been two days, there has been no bleeding again. Attaching the pictures. Blood only twice. Normal thereafter, no bleeding. Chest X ray showing mildly prominent bronchovascular markings and horizontal fissure. Do I need a CT Scan? Or is this normal. Please suggest I am worried. Attached the photos of the bloody phelgm, but not coughing any blood now. Also the blood was mixed with mucus.
