I've been coughing for weeks, and recently I started noticing blood in my sputum. I've tested negative for CRS and TB, and an x-ray showed I have right lobar pneumonia. The meds I took helped stop the blood, but the cough is still there. Now, blood is back in my sputum. What medication do you think I should try next?

View allI've just finished my TB treatment, but I'm really worried because now I'm noticing blood when I spit. Is this something that can happen after completing TB treatment? Should I be concerned about this?
It's important to take any instance of blood in the mouth seriously, even after completing TB treatment. It could be related to residual lung issues, irritation, or other causes such as a throat infection or bleeding gums. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any complications or new conditions.

I've been dealing with asthma since I was 20, and my doctor has me using an asthma pump twice a day. I'm really wondering if using the pump and taking medicines can actually completely cure my asthma. Is there hope for getting rid of it entirely, or will I need to manage it this way long-term?
yes it can be cured

I've been dealing with a cough for over two weeks now. I had a similar issue with a chronic cough that lasted about two months before but improved until almost two years went by. This time, I don't have any other problems like headaches, body aches, or weaknessjust the coughing. I just got my sputum test results and they show gram-positive bacilli and gram-positive cocci in pairs and chains, with occasional pus cells. What's the best way to handle this? How worried should I be?
you need to take antibiotic course for the above sputum report
