Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
May be due to.
1 As you mentioned that there is blood contained expectoration ( weekly ) from one month , may be due to tuberculosis as early tuberculosis didn't show any infiltration in lungs. Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical , clinical and sputum examination with Montox's test.
2 Cancer , diagnosis can be confirmed by M R I as 10 days old X ray is useless finding in such type of cases . Get in latest report of M R I .
3 Lung abscess is another one such disease which develop such type of grey colored expectoration.
In my opinion blood in sputum and grey color is concerning.
You need to investigated with MRI and physical examination .
I would like to recommend you visit a pulmonologist at earliest & sort this problem.
Good luck.
