Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi my father was diagnosed with CVA and bedridden for more than 5years. Lately, when he coughs there's a blood with it. Due to it, the doctor says it is a pulmonary Tubercolosis. The doctor prescribed Quad Tab for his everyday medicine. But, instead to lessen the blood with my father's cough, his stool has also a blood. what do you think is the cause of his blood with cough and waste? Tuberculosis or because of hypertension?
hi, pulmonary tb doesnt cause blood in stool.. what all medication is he taking now..what is his recent blood workup status..? he must be on clot prevention drugs which causes bleeding in occasions.. one of the side effects of quad tab is thrombocytopenia..even this leads to bleed.. i would suggest to get a bood test of CBP,coagulation profile..if they dont show any problem get a thorough clinical examination and necessary scans..and further management accordingly
hope my answer helped you if you have any more queries i would be happy to help you.
