Concerned about Cough, Cold & Blood in Sputum

Patient's Query

I have normal cold and cough and sputum with blood from nose and mouth both

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

You have a common cold and cough. Whe­n blowing your nose or coughing up phlegm, you notice blood. This happe­ns because coughing irritates the­ delicate blood vesse­ls in the nose and throat. Howeve­r, blood can signify other issues like sinus infe­ctions or severe conditions. Pay atte­ntion to the amount of blood - a little may not be conce­rning, but persistent or exce­ssive bleeding warrants me­dical attention. For now, avoid blowing your nose forcefully and stay hydrate­d to soothe your throat. If blood persists, consult an ENT specialist to rule out serious proble­ms.

My hemoglobin report 8.2 and my esr 125

Male | 37

According to your test results, your hemoglobin level is low, which can cause symptoms like feeling tired and weak. The high ESR number could mean that your body is inflamed. From simple ones, such as anemia, to complex ones, such as infection-are sorts of them. If you want to take your hemoglobin to the right levels, you may have to take in more iron-rich foods by way of diet. Plus, do not forget that the root cause of inflammation is there and lower your ESR count. To improve your hemoglobin, you may need to eat more iron-rich foods, and addressing the underlying cause of inflammation can help lower your ESR level.

CEA stands for Carcinoembryonic Antigen, a protein produced in the body, and the levels of it in the body may be high because of different causes such as inflammation or infection. Usual symptoms are unusual with a slight increase in CEA levels, but further tests and monitoring are also often necessary. It’s important to visit your healthcare provider to find out the exact reasons for your condition and the best ways to fight it.

Feeling tired, weak, or unlike yourself can be signs of insufficient amounts of these substances. When some substances are too many, then it may mean that the body is fighting something. To help you feel better soon, you might have to take such supplements like Vitamin B12 or Iron among others.

What if iron readings are normal except % transferring saturation - 12% and result shows disease Ferritin transferring TIBC Iron. Hb - 11 for female

Female | 32

This may suggest that your body lacks iron. With insufficient iron levels, tiredness, weakness, and dizziness may be felt. In women, it could lead to low hemoglobin levels (Hb - 11) thus giving rise to anemia. You are, therefore, required to include foods high in iron such as red meat, beans, and leafy greens in your diet to enhance your iron levels. Further advice may necessitate taking iron supplements based on the orders made by your doctor. Also, there should be regular check-ups so that suitable directions are provided and tracking done.

How to know effect hiv in starting months

Male | 22

During the initial stages of HIV, some individuals might not display any symptoms at all while others may have flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and body aches. This happens because the virus has already started to weaken their immune system. It is important to test if you suspect that you might have been exposed to HIV. Early treatment onset after diagnosis is necessary for effective management of the virus.

Hello I’ve been taking 25 mg atenolol for the last few months for a fast heart rate. I currently have a hemorrhoid and I want to use preparation H to relieve it. Preparation H has 0.25% of phenyleprine in it I know that can raise blood pressure. Should I still take or is there an alternative I can try?

Female | 22

Phenylephrine can raise your blood pressure and it might be unsafe for the heart if one is on atenolol already. In case you have no idea, you can use other treatments for piles that lack this drug like say witch hazel pads alternatively try out nonprescription hydrocortisone creams too. With these substitutes in mind, there won’t be any need to worry about a thing because they will still help soothe them but without affecting or changing anything about how well the medicine works for your heart condition. Nevertheless, should there still be no relief from piles after using these methods then I would advise that you talk with a healthcare professional.

I had unprotected sex last in 2022, I did a hiv test last year October 2023 and tested negative,I wasn't exposed to any sexual activities,do I need to get tested again ?

Female | 26

If you had unprotected intimate relations in 2022 and your HIV test was negative in October 2023. You are not required to take another test as long as you haven't been risky since then. HIV symptoms sometimes show up late, so if you feel something out of the blue, like inexplicable weight loss or too many infections, then it's good to get tested again.

Female | 22

You've been feeling exhausted, lightheaded, and nauseous after childbirth. These could be signs of anemia, which means your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells. Even though you are on iron and calcium tablets, they may not be enough. It's important to have a blood test to see if you need a different type of iron or if something else is causing your symptoms.

Your blood test results have come back as abnormal. Generally, high levels of lym p-lc, MCV, PDW, mpv, and rdw-cv, in the case of low MHC and platelet count, can indicate various conditions. Your symptoms of anxiety, night fever, leg pain, and weight loss are bothersome. These abnormal results and symptoms may be linked to health issues such as anemia, infections, or inflammatory conditions. A doctor's follow-up is necessary for detailed diagnosis and treatment of the problem.

Uric acid crystals can be formed in the joints and cause inflammation and pain, particularly in the knee, and ankle joints.

I'm an 18 year old female who thinks she may have Raynaud's? These are my symptoms. ### Raynaud’s Phenomenon: - **Fingers and Hands**: - Frequent color changes in response to cold, stress, or pressure: fingers turning white/yellow, blue/purple, and red during rewarming. - Numbness, pain, and stiffness, especially in cold water or when exposed to cold air. - Fingernails occasionally turn blue, particularly when nervous. - Fingers often go white under light pressure, but color returns after. - Red, painful, and numb fingers, especially when handling cold objects or after cold exposure. - Hands sometimes go pale/white in cold water, with visible blue veins. When they warm up it can feel tingly and intense heat and sometimes burning and uncomfortableness. - Ridges and a light white color underneath fingernails. - A small cut on your hand is taking longer than usual to heal. But cuts in general too. - **Feet and Toes**: - Feet often turn purple or blue when sitting still for long periods, especially without socks. - Numbness and coldness in feet, particularly when standing still or exposed to cold. - Toes sometimes appear weirdly purple/light blue/gray after cold exposure. - Difficulty standing and walking due to numbness and pain in feet, particularly in cold environments. - **General Cold Sensitivity**: - Need to wear multiple layers and use hot water bottles/heat packs to stay warm, especially at night or when sitting still. - Lips sometimes turn blue or darken when cold, especially during Raynaud’s attacks. - Occasional episodes of feeling cold despite being in a warm environment. - **Pain and Discomfort**: - Discomfort in hands and feet during cold exposure, sometimes making it difficult to perform tasks or move. ### Recent Observations: - **Improvement**: - Hands have been warmer than usual recently, with fewer Raynaud’s attacks. - **Persistent Issues**: - A cut on your hand that is slow to heal, potentially due to reduced blood circulation. - Ongoing need to protect hands and feet from cold to prevent Raynaud’s attacks.

Female | 18

It appears like you have Raynaud's Phenomenon. The condition makes your fingers and toes to change color, cause the cold and numb feeling, particularly, when you are exposed to cold or stress. This is due to blood vessels in your extremities overreacting to these triggers, thus, decreasing blood flow. The best way to do this is to wear warm clothes, gloves, and socks, and also avoid the cold that triggers such episodes.
