Why do I cough up yellow phlegm with blood?

Patient's Query

I have a cough and when I cough not every time but sometimes when I cough I get yellow phlegm with little blood

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Coughing with yellow phlegm and a little blood can sometimes happen when there's an infection in your respiratory system, like bronchitis or pneumonia. The yellow color may indicate your body's fighting off an infection, and the blood could be from irritated airways due to the coughing. It's essential to have this checked by a pulmonologist to determine the exact cause. In the meantime, staying hydrated, getting enough rest, and avoiding irritants like smoke can help.

i am 17 year old boy . i have drug resistance tb in lungs so, i want to ask that can i take creatine and whey protein as i am doing gym

Male | 17

This can cause symptoms such as coughing, chest pains, and coughing up blood. Persons under TB medication are not encouraged to use creatine or whey proteins since it alter how the body responds to the drugs. Concentrate on the treatment plan provided by your doctor and also eat a balanced diet that will help in fighting the infection. Continue going to the gym but don’t take any supplements that may affect the healing process of TB within your body.

My name is Amal 31 years old. I have some breathing problem and using Serflo 125 synchrobreathe. now in heavy rain i have cold and cough please suggest best medicine for nebulizer

Male | 31

Serflo 125 synchrobreathe is good but you need something more. You may want to try using Budecort respules with your nebulizer. These will help reduce any swelling inside your air passages which should make them wider and easier to breathe through. Do not forget about following the prescribed dosage exactly as instructed. But do visit your doctor before starting the medication.

Swas lene me problem ho rahi enxity bhi ho rahi hai pain ho raha hai breath

Female | 22

These might be symptoms of asthma. Someone with asthma may find it difficult to breathe properly and they can also get chest pains. One needs to keep calm, sit upright, and use any prescribed inhalers if they have any. A person should also try to stay away from anything that might trigger an attack such as smoke or allergens. They can take warm drinks which will help them relax. If these signs continue or become worse then they need immediate medical attention.
