Chest & Breathing Problems
Brown cough and Blood in cough
From past 3-4 days i have been seeing blood in my cough during early morning and the cough is brown.
30 days back when i had a suspicion of TB due to my colleague getting diagnosed I had visited a pulmonologist and chest xray was done and told i have sinus issue other than that nothing. (I have bronchitis from childhood).
During day time i see no blood in my normal cough, only after i wake up in morning i saw that.
Smoking: I have quit smoking recently 30 days back.

Which doctor to visit?
Hi, I have been in a treatment from a general physician in my locality, but not feeling better with their treatment as yet. Please advise if a pulmonologist looks into such an infection or is it a general physician only?

Sore throat and cough
I have suffered viral infection with fever 15 days back. Subsequently suffered severe cough which was treated with Claribid 500, Grlinctus ls, Montec fx, nebulizer with levolin, budecort.
Though cough has subsided compared to 12 days ago and no fever at present, still it has not disappeared. Problem of sore throat and cough persists despite all drugs are ongoing except antibiotics.
Though it requires further evaluation, any modifications in treatment can help further.

Spitting blood
I’ve been spitting blood since few months. I went to consult with an ENT on June. She said my throat looks fine and there is a small dent inside my nose and prescribed me with some medicines. The blood went away for a few days. I have a blood test report from June 4th. I have not been able to get it checked due to my schedule.
My history is I had been smoking a lot due to stress. I’ve reduced. Whenever I smoke, I can smell blood when I breathe and I spit or (maybe cough) blood. I feel like something is mildly blocking my lungs when I breathe.

Why do I have Burning sensation in Righ
Back in April, I started using an inhaler (Foracort 200) for the first time because I was having trouble breathing. I used it for over a month, but it didn’t really help.
Since I started using it, I’ve been having sharp chest pain in different areas, and a burning sensation in my right hand. What’s worrying is that even though I’ve stopped the inhaler, these symptoms are still continuing.
Before using the inhaler, I never had these issues at all.
Any advice?
