Suggest Treatment For Blood In Phlegm Despite Taking Sentra
Hi. I ve been on Sentra for a chest infection for 7 days now , with 3 more days to finish prescription. Today the cough seems deeper in my chest and I ve been coughing up flem in the past 4 days as she has me on much ex as well. Yet tonight when coughing its dryer and like 2 or 3 tiny little specs of what looks like blood is on the tissue after I cough into it. Should I be put on a different antibiotic or is it normal after 6 days and much coughing to feel still tired and have a low fever of 96.7. Normally I am 97.3 F. Along with the above symptoms. Thank you, Diane

Hello,
After three days of prescription, the amount of coughing with blood in
phlegm is not normal you must get a sputum examination with x-ray
chest for further management guidelines to alter the medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
