Hi.
I was taken into hospital on Friday night with a fever of 41, vomiting along with aches and pains.
I was discharged the next day however I have been coughing up yellow balls of mucus with blood.... my chest X-ray at the hospital was clear. My legs and arms are so so painful too .
Any help or advice?

Off to the GP at the very least. Gunk is one thing, blood is another. It may just be from the coughing but far better safe than sorry.
I'm going to my GP tomorrow. My breathing is fine and no pain in lungs or chest. Hoping it's just my sinuses. Thank you for replying
Go back to hospital
I was told to only go back if my temperature increased but it's been ok?

Sometimes if you are coughing repeatedly and hard enough this can cause small haemorrhage (light bleeds) and therefore looks like there may be something more.
The key is just to keep a cool head and spit a couple of samples into a jar and head back to your G.P. as soon as possible. Also make sure to take Paracetamol 4 hourly as long as there is a temperature. This will help to control it. One more tip:- Don't rug up as it will keep you too warm. A tepid bath (not hot or cold, just in between) for 10mins will help to bring a temp down from a harmful range, e.g.: 41degrees, then if you must cover up, then only a sheet.
I was a nurse, so I hope this will help?
I handed in a sample yesterday.
I’ve been talking paracetamol but I don’t feel it’s doing anything for me? I can’t take ibuprofen so don’t have another option really.
I will do the bath technique and see if they helps.
Thank you I really appreciate you took the time to reply and give advice x
