Suggest Treatment For Tonsillitis
When I'm throwing up how come there is like brown specs or brown spots coming up along with clear mucus, I am having stomache pains, but I am on medication called azithromycin because on tonsillitis, then when I try to sleep then wake up I have a hard time breathing when I wake up and have to use an inhaler I am also coughing too, so could you tell me what it might be or what to do? Thx

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The brown spots that you are noting are likely old or dry blood. This can be found in vomitus due to the inflammation of the stomach.
Antibiotics including azithromycin can be associated with gastrointestinal upset and symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea.
The use of probiotics along with the antibiotics can sometimes decrease the symptoms.
The coughing may be part of the upper respiratory tract infection symptoms (cold symptoms) or due to aggravation of your asthma. It would be best to use your inhalors to see if they would help.
If there is no improvement then you should visit your doctor.
I hope this helps
