I've had pulmonary bronchitis in the past and got treated for it recently. It's been about two weeks since I also caught COVID, and while mostly everything's fine, I've noticed that some foods are making my phlegm worse. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if I need to check in with a doctor. What do you think?

I'm really confused about my test results for TB. On December 27th, I got a sputum test, and it was positive. But then the next day, I did another sputum test, and that came back negative. The Truenat test on the 29th and the CBNAAT on the 30th were also negative. My chest X-ray is normal according to my local doctor, and some symptoms like weakness have gotten better, though I still have a mild chest pain. My blood report was normal except for ESR being 26, lymphocytes at 43, and cholesterol at 216. With my initial test being positive and all the following ones negative, I'm really unsure whether I have TB or not and whether I should start taking any medication. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

I had a fever last week and also a cough for about three days. For the past three mornings, I've been noticing blood in my sputum for about 5 to 10 minutes, then nothing the rest of the day. I still have an occasional cough. Should I be worried about this? I've attached my chest X-ray and CBC. Could you take a look and let me know?
The presence of blood in your sputum, known as hemoptysis, can have various causes such as infections, inflammation, or more serious conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or even pulmonary embolism. Considering your symptoms and test results, I recommend a course of antibiotics to treat any underlying infection. Additionally, an antitussive medication can help with your cough. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
