[|Human|] I was put on antibiotics for a chest infection, but my symptoms seem to be getting worse, coughing up blood, finding it hard to breathe, very tired, my skin sometimes turns a purple sort of colour, my cough is also very chesty and Im coughing up thick phlegm with blood... I dont wanna go back to the doctor and look stupid by saying I think I have Pneumonia...
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum) a day breathing difficulty despite taking antibiotics. This suggests that your antibiotics are not working, and your lung infection is worsening. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done sputum culture and sensitivity report. Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide about effective antibiotic treatment. By this we can achieve speedy and accurate recovery. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
