Could excess mucus be vincristine injection side effect?
Patient's Query
My mother is blood cancer patient and now she has excess cough with mucus from 2 months . Some doctor said it’s a side effect of chemo medicines of vincristine injection
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
After chemotherapy, a cough that is accompanied by mucus may appear because our immune system is weakened, or it may be due to the damage of the respiratory system from treatments similar to vincristine. Make sure she stays well hydrated, and make her drink a lot of fluids. Also, a humidifier might be a good idea for relief. I suggest you talk with her oncologist and get it clear from him about these transitions and perhaps the altering of the therapeutic plan.
