Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...my wife spat blood on the 6th March 2011 thrice and complained of burning sensation in the throat after that. Now she seems to be alright and hasnt spat any blood for the past two days.She has a history of tuberculosis (2003)which got cured through medication. Please aadvice
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your wife had hemoptysis (blood in sputum). Hemoptysis is commonly seen with tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchitis and lung cancer. Since she already had tuberculosis in the past, we should definitely rule out recurrence of TB in her case. So get done chest x-ray and sputum microscopic examination for TB. If both these are normal then no need to worry much. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
