I'm waking up in the mornings and noticing a bit of blood when I spit out cough. It's not a lot, but it's still concerning. Should I be worried? Could it be something serious?

View allI'm 29 and had pulmonary TB a while ago. I went through a full year of treatment. It's been about six months now, and I've started experiencing some chest pain on and off. It's really affecting my sleep because the discomfort keeps me up. I don't have a cough or fever, and my x-ray is clear. I'm really confused about what's causing this chest pain. Can you help figure out what's going on?
Hi, it's good to hear that you completed treatment for pulmonary TB. The chest pain you are experiencing could be due to post-tuberculosis pleurisy, which is inflammation of the lining of the lungs. I recommend taking Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day after meals for a few days to help reduce the inflammation and relieve the chest pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the painful area for further relief. If the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about ILD and whether it's curable or not. I've read online that people with ILD only live for about 3 to 5 years. Is that true? Is there anything specific I can do to help manage this disease? Id really appreciate any advice or remedies you can suggest.

I've been tested positive for Covid on July 30, 2020, but I didn't have any symptoms. They admitted me to the hospital anyway and did all sorts of tests like CBC, kidney, liver, d-dimer, ferritin, and some ECG and chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. I got out after a week and have been quarantining at home for six days now. The past three days, I've been feeling like I have this chest fullness, kind of like gastric issues. I went back to the hospital and got another X-ray, which looks fine. But my Spo2 levels have been always between 93 and 96 since I got home. I'm not really experiencing anything else, but I'm worried about how to improve my Spo2 levels. Can you give me some advice?
