[|Human|] my dad as been dealing with a low platelet and hemoglobin count for 2 years. He has been on danazol 200mg for most of the time which has brought is platelets up to 70,000 and hemoglobin up to 84. Dad was just in ICU because his right lung filled with bright red blood after coughing. Dad had no signs of fever or a cold. The ICU doctors think dad may have had an mild infection which caused this. Dad recovered and has been out of the hospital for 1 week. Today he coughed up about 50mls of bright red blood. He is staying in the hospital over night for observation. I am just wonder if dad need to be ASA especially if his platelet content is low.Dad had a stent July of this year and that is the first time he as been on 81mg of asa. Dad hx is myoplastic dysplasia, unstable angina, anemia, asbestos, asthma, esophageal reflux, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He is on asa, bisoprolol, valsartan, amlodipine. fenomicro tamsulosin and nitropatch.
[|AI|]  HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can understand it, if your dad have had a history of frequent blood in cough then it has to be investigated because low platelet does not cause this thing the cough stain with blood comes very late in platelet crisis, there must be some other lung tissue issue and need to be investigated, long term hospitalization would require here take care of your father have nice day.
