Suggest Treatment For Tonsillitis And Cough With Blood
I have been diagnosed with tonsillitis and been given Penicillin - the real pain is a persistent cough and a wheezy / rattling sound in my chest. I am coughing stuff up (often blood streaked) but there feels that there is a lot more to cough up. I have a history of lung related problems. Do you think this tonsillitis has now become bronchitis?

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of bronchitis. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a pulmonologist and performing a chest X ray study, coupled with pulmonary function tests. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
