Hello
As you mentioned that your husband is having "ASTHMA " also cough with blood in sputum .
If as you mentioned that history of illness is just from 7 days ( not more than this ) , so the cause of blood in sputum may be sore throat ( infection in throat) . 2nd reason os such blood in sputum may be tuberculosis ( in your husband case this is a remote possibility ).
Asthma sufferers may complain of a variety of symptoms , none of which is specific to asthma , these are ,.
==Wheeze(usually bilateral , diffuse , polyphonic & expiratory),
==Shortness of breath ( SOB),
==Cough &
==Chest tightness.
When there develops cough if severe bouts , this may produces blood in sputum.
For precaution get in X ray chest to rule out tuberculosis ( once again no possibility ).
When such patient visit my clinic with these symptoms I prescribe them .
Monteleukast+ bambuterole tablet once or twice in day depending upon the severity of disease.
Cough syrup containing terbutalin+ ambroxole+ dextromethophan .
Levofloxacin 750 mg + pantaloc-d / day ( one / day ) for 5 days .
Since this a prescription medicine so take help of a physician .
Good luck.
Steam inhalation is relief provider measure in asthmatic patient .
Good luck.
