I've been coughing up a little bit of blood in the mornings for the last few weeks and also noticed some blood in my left nostril. I got a chest x-ray and PNS x-ray done, and they came back normal. My CBC and ESR are also normal. Should I be worried about this, or could it be something minor? What should I do next?

I'm a 28-year-old male and Ive noticed some blood in my spit, mostly in the mornings after I wake up. I dont smoke and I'm generally healthy with no cough or anything like that. I sometimes deal with allergies, so I'm wondering if that could be causing it? Ive had a chest X-ray and it was all good. I also occasionally have gas issues and migraines. What could be causing the blood in my sputum?

that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.

I'm curious if there's a blood test that can help understand how severe my ILD is and whether the disease is stable or getting worse since I can't have an HRCT all the time. Also, if I'm taking the right medications after being diagnosed with ILD, how many years could I potentially expect to live?

ILD is a curable disease, need not worry

I'm dealing with COVID for a second time and am currently on my 5th day of quarantine. When I check my oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter, the readings vary depending on which finger I use. Which figure should I trust? And also, my ct value on the RT-PCR test came out to be 27. Does that indicate anything concerning or am I in the safe zone?

Recovery is around 2-3 weeks.Continue all the medications.
