I've been noticing some blood-colored mucus once in a while over the past few weeks, and for the past two months, it's been feeling like my breathing is sometimes obstructed. I just got a body check and everything came back normal, including the blood test, but they didnt explain why I'm seeing the blood-colored mucus. Is this something I should be worried about, like could it be a sign of lung cancer?

View allI'm having this cough issue for about 23 days now. It feels like my heart's going to jump out every time I cough, and it's always a dry cough with absolutely no spit. I'm starting to get really concerned. What could this all mean? Could it be something serious?
It sounds like you're experiencing a dry, non-productive cough, which can be caused by irritation in the throat or airways. If you're feeling chest discomfort or tightness when coughing, it's important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues, especially if it's persisting for a few days. In the meantime, staying hydrated and using a soothing cough suppressant may help.

I'm really worried about my grandfather. He just had a CT scan, and the doctors in our town said he has ILD. Given everything going on with the pandemic, we're struggling to get him to see a pulmonologist in a bigger city. He smoked once, worked at a cotton mill for two decades, and has been in agriculture and poultry farming. With all this, plus his age, I'm just wondering how much longer we can wait before seeing a specialist. Are there any temporary measures or remedies we can take at home to keep his ILD from getting worse until we can get that appointment? Would love any advice you can share.
