ENT Specialist 's  Response
Rule out sleep apnoea., Tonsillitis, bad viral infection in view of cough with blood, tuberculosis max. Start on antibiotics, anti inflammatories. Anti reflux medication.. allergies can also give rise to something like this.... if tonsillitis need to be removed. Montelukast1 can be started soon as she has asthma. and would be a safe drug
