What to do if you have blood in your spit

The treatment of spitting blood depends on the cause and the severity of the disease. Clinically, it is more common that the inflammatory reaction, which is stronger, leads to the breakdown of the airway mucosa. For example, in tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, large cavities are formed with varying degrees of fibrosis and calcification. The rupture of the blood vessels of the bronchial mucosa can be treated with hemostatic agents such as vitamin C, vitamin K1, hemostatic minerals, hemostatic aromatic acid, etc., on the basis of active antituberculosis treatment. If the bleeding is more severe and belongs to hemoptysis, posterior pituitary hormone can be chosen for treatment. It is also seen in bronchial lung cancer, where the cancer damages the airway mucosa and ruptures bleeding. In addition to the above measures to stop the bleeding, surgical treatment with radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be actively carried out, and if necessary, the bleeding site can be stopped under direct vision by bronchial fiber endoscopy.
