I've been dealing with a cough for more than a week now and just started having this mild, annoying chest pain since last night. There's also phlegm. Should I be concerned, or is this something that'll pass on its own?

I'm currently on my sixth month of TB treatment, but I've been having this cough for about 10-15 days now. I went to the doctor and he said it's nothing serious, just continued with my usual meds like Rcinex. He also gave me something for allergies like Allegra and some antibiotics. But I saw on my X-ray report from the radiologist that it says "bronchiovascular marking is prominent in bilateral lung field" and I'm wondering if I should be worried about this?

yes it is finding of tuberculosis , it will go away after complete treatment of tuberculosis

I'm 55 and I've been having more and more of a cough lately, especially when I'm on the phone or talking to others. I've tried using cough syrup with dextromethorphan hydrobromide and gargling with salt water, but I'm not seeing much improvement. What should I do next?

I've noticed some blood in my sputum, but I don't have any pain in my throat or chest. What could be causing this?

Coughing up blood, also known as hemoptysis, can be caused by several factors such as an infection, bronchitis, or even nasal bleeding. If there's no pain in your throat or chest, it could be due to mild irritation or inflammation in the airways. However, it's important to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any serious conditions.
