Could Productive Cough Along With Traces Of Blood Be Due To Fluticasone Propionate?
I went to see an ear, nose & throat specialist because I was having pain and pressure in my right ear. He examined both ears and prescribed Fluticasone Propionate to use once daily and nasal wash with salt and sodium bicarbonate. Also, he prescribed Zyrtec. He says is was allergies that is causing the problem. However, I have been suffering with constant cough, chest congestion and now and then when I cough and spit the phlem (yellow thick phlem) blood shows up in the phlem. If this due to the reaction of the medication. Because I did not any of these symptoms before I started on these medications. The pressure in the ear has subsided and the pain is gone
