What Causes Severe Fatigue And Blood In Phlegm After Taking Penicillin?

I went to the clinic last Thursday for what I believed to be strep throat, as I ve had it before. They did a quick test and gave me penicillin and sent me on my way. The blisters in the throat have now gone but since then I ve still been extremely exhausted. Sleeping most of my days away. Then today I noticed that I have blood in my phlegm and am starting to think there may be more of an underlying cause here.

Hello,

Fatigue can be related to side effects of Penicillin. I suggest you use a multivitamin supplement. I also recommend using a mucolytic to help you clear the phlegm.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
