Sputum I am getting

2024-03-30 17:53:45
Doctor I am getting light brown streak sputum when I clear my throat from last 2 months. The colour of the sputum is white with light brown streak. My X-ray report says that I have hyper inflated lungs with increase in bronchovascular marking and my CT chest with contrast is totally normal. I have done sputum culture also and it's normal. What could be the reason for this? The sputum which I get when it dries appear dark brown otherwise when it is wet it appears light brown . Is this blood in sputum? I have attached the picture when wet and when dry. Please tell
