Hi everyone!! I know we are not Doctors on here etc but having a bad day with my mind overworking due to my lovely health anxiety!
I have been ill this week due to a sinus infection.Finally got antibiotics on Saturday as there were no signs of improvement and I just felt like crap!Also wanted to be in the safe side as last time I had a sinus infection it went onto my chest causing bad infection and I'd rather not experience that again!
Anyway, Sunday and yesterday I didn't feel too bad. Took an antibiotic last night before I went to bed-supposed to swallow it whole-but being me I have been crushing it in my mouth as scared of it getting stuck in throat!.Went to bed,fell asleep..
Early hours of morning,I awoke to find myself coughing,not coughing very hard but felt like something was irrating my throat. Noticed I had phlegm in my mouth so went to the bathroom. I nearly died on spot when saw that my phlegm was a reddish colour(not like bright blood)as I spat more on the tissue(sorry for tmi)I noticed bits of the antibiotic I had taken before bed(the antibiotic is red) the taste was also of the antibiotic. Now I don't know if it was blood in my phlegm,or it was the antibiotic as I suffer from acid reflux too. Looked at the tissue it was on this morning and it's not red at all,just slight discolouration..no scary phlegm episodes since though....can anyone help?
