  5. I've been coughing for weeks, and recently I started noticing blood in my sputum. I've tested negative for CRS and TB, and an x-ray showed I have right lobar pneumonia. The meds I took helped stop the blood, but the cough is still there. Now, blood is back in my sputum. What medication do you think I should try next?
