Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum) with cough and breathing difficulty. So possibility of either lung infection (tuberculosis or pneumonia) or bronchitis is more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. On the basis of diagnosis, you may need antibiotics (for lung infection) or inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (for bronchitis). Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
