question: Dear Dr. Dinesh,This query am posting related to my Father. My Father is 56 Yrs old. He was a chain smoker and an alcoholic till the day it was discovered that his vocal chord was completely choked and was hardly able to speak. We immediately got him admitted in hospital at Dehradun in the month Nov- 2010. Later on after the diagnosis it was found that he has got tuberculosis in Categor-1, wherein they suggested starting with the DOT medicines. After 5 days in the hospital he got discharged and he was brought home. His weight was by then 50Kg. He was on healthy diet since then and completely stopped smoking and drinking. After a week when we started with the DOT after 2 days he started coughing blood heavily. He was then again rushed to hospital in Dehradun and was admitted there for atleast a week.  After he got discharged, after a week again he started coughing blood in medical term he had Hemoptysis. Though this time as it was suggested by the doctor in the hospital to be given at the time of emergency, injection “TRANEXA” was given to him.My queries are:1.     Do we need to admit my father again, if yes then for how long?2.     As told by the doctors that coughing blood is recurring, can we give the injection regularly?     a.     When all do we need to give him Injection?b.     Do we need to start with giving the other vitamins and Glucose doses?3.     In such a case how long does it take a patient to recover?4.     What all precaution we need to take with such a patientI will be really great full if you can answer my all these query asap.ThanksPoonam
