I am a healthy 39 yearold female. A productive cough started four days ago. No fever or any other symptoms but, I am a little dizzy ... The coughing happens in little fits ... Mostly clear a little but of red-streaks sometimes Otherwise, I feel great .... When should the coughing go away?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Coughing out red streaked sputum is known as hemoptysis. And this can be seen in pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchitis etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out above-mentioned causes. If both are normal then no need to worry much. You should start antihistamine Chat Doctor.  Since it is prescribed
