Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) symptoms and hemoptysis (blood in sputum).
It is commonly seen with bronchitis (inflammation of airways).
Bronchitis is also common after viral URTI.
Best treatment for bronchitis is inhaled treatment. Since you are not taking it, you are not improving.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (pulmonary function test)
3. Chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
