What To Do For Coughing Blood And Getting Blood Spots When Sneeze Though On Medication For TB?

I am currently taking tb medication but I was afraid because before I started Treatment I only coughed up small amount of blood mixed with my sputum. Recently I coughed up for about a 1 tablespoon of Blood and there were small amount of blood spots when I sneeze. Is it a sign that the medicines are not working at me? I am already on 1 month since I started my medication. I also gained 3 kls for that 1month.

Hi and welcome to HCM,

This is not due to drug. It may be due to epistaxis (rupture of blood vessels due to forceful cough). since you have gained weight it shows that medicine is working. Do you have good appetite. Nothing to worry. Consult your physician.

Wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
