What to do if you cough up blood due to small cell lung cancer

Patients with small cell lung cancer who cough up blood can relieve the symptoms through medication, surgery, and other treatments as prescribed by the doctor.

Small cell lung cancer is caused by necrosis of lung tissue caused by tumors and inflammation. In severe cases, capillary damage may also occur, at which time a small amount of bleeding will occur and mix with sputum.

If intermittent hemoptysis occurs, you can take drugs such as compound methoxyphenamine capsules and codeine phosphate tablets as recommended by the doctor to relieve it, and avoid strong coughing, which will aggravate the symptoms of hemoptysis. If it develops into symptoms of pulmonary edema, respiratory dysfunction may occur, and you need to go to the hospital pathology department for a biopsy in time to determine whether it is a malignant tumor. If it is a malignant tumor, surgery should be performed in time.

Coughing up blood may also be related to asthma, with symptoms such as chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing. Patients can go to the respiratory department for diagnosis and, according to the doctor's advice, use drugs such as salbutamol inhalation aerosol and erythromycin enteric-coated tablets for treatment. Common surgical methods include total lung resection and partial lung resection. Patients are advised to choose the appropriate surgical method for treatment according to the doctor's advice. Pay more attention to diet, with light food as the main form, maintain a regular life, eat more vegetables and fruits, and don't get tired.
