Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case.
Bronchitis is inflammation of airways.
And it can cause coughing, hemoptysis (blood in sputum) and prominent bronchovascular markings on chest x ray.
If you are smoker than you should quit smoking as soon as possible.
You need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs are also important in bronchitis.
So 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.
