I've been noticing something concerning over the past month. Every morning, I start coughing up blood, and then it begins to come from my nose too. The blood's dark red, kind of like a clot. I'm not dealing with a sore throat or any weakness, but it's worrying. Could this be serious?

I'm having some trouble with my breathing and I already tried the pantosec d gas tablet that my doctor recommended. I also saw a pulmonologist, had a chest X-ray and an ECG, and both came out normal. There didn't seem to be any problems, so no meds were given. Do you think I might still need any medication or other tests?

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having shortness of breath and a mild cough for the past two days, though my temperature and oxygen levels are normal. I have a nebulizer at homeshould I be using it? If so, what kind of medicine or combination should I use with it?

If you are experiencing breathing shortness and a mild cough, using a nebulizer at home can help with your symptoms. You can use a combination of albuterol sulfate and ipratropium bromide in the nebulizer. Remember to follow the instructions provided with your nebulizer for proper use.

I'm really worried about my friend who's been having these health issues. They've done an X-ray and blood tests, and there's a mix of opinions. Some are saying it could be TB, while others think it might be pneumonia. He's got a really bad cough and also has diabetes. What should we be looking out for, and what steps should we take next?
