Hi doctor, Whenever I get cold, I have blood coming along with a cough. I have this problem for the past one year. After drinking water and taking cough syrup, it becomes normal. I went to the doctor, and a chest X-ray was done. The result was normal. After a month, I had the same problem and went to the doctor. He suggested me to do an X-ray, sputum test and CT scan. I did all the tests, and the results came normal. Even today also, I had the same problem. I do not understand. Why do I have these symptoms when everything is normal? Please suggest.
Hi. Blood in sputum can occur due to different causes. We need to find the reason whether the blood comes from the nose or throat. It can also occur due to localized damage to the lungs called bronchiectasis. But it is usually seen in CT scan. Please send me the images of the chest X-ray and CT scan to guide you further.
