Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly .
* Severe cough with red blood in sputum is indicative of definite underlying
pathology which may be ranging from severe acute bronchitis ,
pneumonia, pleural effusion ,consolidation , pulmonary tuberculosis or
other tumors of the lungs , other conditions .
* So I don`t recommend any of the empiric treatment just for the sake of
feeling good , I request you to immediately consult with CT scan report
along with any laboratory work up , x-ray report if available for precise
study of the case & plan management guidelines accordingly for better
recovery .
Hope this helps you .
Welcome for any further assistance .
