I'm noticing that I've been coughing up black spots after meals lately. I used to smoke for about 5 years, but I quit 6 months ago. Should I be worried about this cough? Is it related to my past smoking or something else I should be aware of?

View allI'm really worried because I've been coughing for two weeks now, and it's getting to the point where sometimes when I cough really hard, it completely blocks my throat and I can't breathe. It's scary, and on top of that, I've actually thrown up what I've just eaten a few times. I already saw a general doctor, but the meds they gave me aren't doing anything. Can you tell me which specialist I should talk to about this?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a week, and after we went to see a physician, she was given pulmoclear tablets. But now, after taking them for two days, she's having trouble breathing and feels tightness in her chest. Could this be a side effect of the tablet? Theres no family history of asthma or any breathing issues, and she was perfectly fine before starting the medication. I read somewhere that breathing problems are a rare but serious side effect of pulmoclear. Could this be true?
It's possible that your mother is experiencing a side effect from Pulmoclear, as breathing difficulty and chest tightness can occur, though rarely. I recommend stopping the medication and contacting her physician immediately to discuss her symptoms and explore alternative treatments.

I'm wondering if pneumonia and tuberculosis leave the same kind of scar on your lungs after you've been treated. Could the scarring look similar, or do they have distinct differences? Just trying to understand what kind of impact these infections might have long-term.
