Hi,
Thanks for the query.
From the details provided by you, it appears that you might be suffering from an attack of bronchitis which was treated appropriately.
The point of my concern is that you are still having streaks of blood in sputum which is rare in bronchitis but sometimes present.
I recommend you to go for an repeat chest X-ray and discuss with your doctor to check whether there are any fresh changes or not.
Please don't get panic. If there are some lesions in fresh chest X-ray, then I would like you to go for fiber Optic Bronchoscopy.
Hope this answers your query. In case of any doubts, I am available for the follow ups.
Regards.
