Talk to General Physician on Blood In Saliva
Asking for Husband, Male, 30 years old, Karachi
My husband started smoking at age 10. And started hash at age 12, so its been almost 18 years now. A few months back he started over dosing hash with some new friends, and 2 days back he found blood in his saliva and phlegm after coughing. We are very worried. He stopped over dosing immediately and smoking moderately now. Please tell me what tests should I get done, I need a list of tests which should be done in this situation, then we'll go to see a doctor with test results. Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you.
