I am taking Erythromycin E.S. TA 400mg (E-M) for ear nose infection with the flu. The head is clearing up but infection seems to have gone to respiratry tract which is getting worse and is so raw that I am coughing blood in yellow flem. Can I take Flucloxacillin Sodium CA 500mg as well? of which I have a full course available. My doctor is also away sick
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... You had viral flu of respiratory tract.... But here after that you developed bacterial infection secondary to viral.... It could be bronchitis like condition that can lead blood in sputum... You might have excess cough and over effort can lead irritation and blood in sputum...Don't self-medicate.... It is better to use levofloxacin like broad spectrum antibiotic.... More water taken.... Steam inhalation also useful for cough Chat Doctor. ... If needed and congestive symptom more than antihistamines
