Streaks of blood in mucus
Sir i was diagonised with tuberclosis in 2011 and i completed my 6 months medicine course . After that i went Delhi for my further studies where my diet was not good . Since 2015 i have been witnessing blood streaks in my mucus that too in the early morning cough, the blood streak is not regular. I consulted my doctor n he said its just the scar as shown in the X ray. Again i am having chest pain n blood streaks in the mucus is back. Kindly help me coz i feel it might get severe.
