Bloody sputum
I am experiencing blood in cough from past 3 months. Went to physician was on medication for one week. Got symptomatic relief. But after few days again problem started. The cough is minute blood streaks can be seen mainly in morning once or twice a week. Did SPUTUM test, CHEST X-ray, CBC ESR, PNS XRAY. All in normal ranges. But sometimes there is still blood streaks in cough.

Good evening, I would like to have a look at your reports in order to come to a conclusion. And I also need to know a few more details to diagnose you better. And considering your age, it might not be something very sinister, but nonetheless, it’s better to rule out everything. Consult me on my chat with your reports if possible.
Next Steps
Avoid smoking (if you’re a smoker) or alcohol (if u take alcohol). Give your voice complete rest for 24hours,if your job requires you to talk loudly or constantly
Health Tips
Drink warm liquids, nothing very hot or very cold.
