What to do?
M27 here who has been smoking cigarettes from 2020–2022 of about 3 a day and from 2024– till now about 7–8 a day. Has done pft twice now which were normal and done chest xray twice which were normal. Last test were on august 6, 2025.
I ALSO DID FIXED LARYNGOSCOPY TEST IN BETWEEN MAY–JUNE 2025 WHICH WAS ALSO NORMAL TOO.
So, whenever I clear my throat by inducing cough to check is there anything. After many many times of inducing cough and clearing my throat i get a minuscule amount of blood.
So Do i have to get another larengoscopy? And was blood caused by forceful and repetitive coughing given the fact that i did larengoscopy just 3 months back?
Yes mostly in your case it is due to forceful coughing, the mucosa of the airway is very delicate. Any forceful stimulation can lead to bleeding and edema.
