Cough and cold

2022-12-30 14:24:40
I had cold and cough since last two weeks..no fever and other symptoms.. Initially cough was dry then since week it was wet cough. First took Azithromycin 500 one a day for 5 days, now cefixime 200 twice day and it's currently on 3rd day and currently taking Rexcof DX cough syrup 3 times day. Cough seems to be going away as compared to before but since past two days blood is coming in my sputum only in morning.. when I wake up,  i feel like coughing and sticky mucus comes with red colour then whole days nothing...wet cough is still there but much less than before. What could be bloody sputum reason please?

More detailed evaluation is required. Just taking antibiotics repeatedly is not a wise thing

Please consult a pulmonologist online or offline for proper evaluation and treatment
