[|Human|] I am having chest congestion for the past one week . I was being treated with Erythromycin.Now the infection seems to be better, however after a week of clear phlegm, I notice that my phlegm seems to be tiinged with slight trace of blood. What is the reason for this?
[|AI|]  HI welcome to the Chat Doctor You are having chest congestion and presentation is not much serious like fever and dyspnea Hence pneumonia consolidation seems less likely You are having bronchitis and in it blood tinged sputum can be present Excess coughing also can lead blood in sputum by irritation... Maintain oral hygiene as sometime gum bleeding might be the cause Complete the course of prescribed antibiotic and decongestant Chest x-ray digital in PA view can be done here If no improvement than sputum cytology and further suitable work up needed To Take care Consult pulmonologist for examination with keeping all this in mind
