I've been on TB medication for nearly two months, but I'm still coughing up blood. Is this something to be worried about? Is it normal to still have these symptoms, or should I be doing something different?

I'm dealing with this persistent dry cough that's just not going away, and it's been happening every couple of months. I've seen a few doctors, and none of the medicines they suggested have relieved it. They've mentioned it might be bronchitis, but I'm not so sure anymore since nothing seems to be helping. I've tried antibiotics, various syrups like Ascoril and Brozodex, inhalers like Seretide 250 and Foracort, and tablets like LCZ Plus and Gramocef 200 mg, but it's like I'm not making any progress. There's no sputum coming out, and it's causing a lot of discomfort in my chest. It's gotten to the point where I'm not even sleeping well at night. I'm really worried and could use some guidance on what else I might try. Any advice?
Considering your persistent dry cough and lack of relief from various medications, it's essential to revisit your diagnosis and treatment plan; consult a pulmonologist or a specialist to rule out underlying conditions like asthma, chronic bronchitis, or even gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and consider further investigations like a chest X-ray, spirometry, or an acid reflux test to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

I'm really worried about this chronic cough I have, especially at night. It seems to be getting worse and causing some respiratory issues. Could it be related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? What should I be looking out for, and is there anything I can do to manage these symptoms better at home?
continue your medication about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
