  5. I'm really concerned because I've been coughing for about 8 to 10 days now, and just today I noticed blood when I cough. This isn't the first time it's happened; about two years ago, I experienced something similar and went to a physician for a medical checkup, and with some treatment over a month, it got better. Should I be worried and seek medical help again right away, or is there something else I can try first? Could this be related to the previous issue I had back then?
