Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with blood-tinged sputum for the past month. I've had all the checkups and even got an X-ray, but everything came back normal. I'm 23 years old and recently quit smoking about three months ago. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and which type of doctor I should consult?
