I'm a bit concerned because about two weeks ago, I had a cough and cold, but recently, for the last 10 days or so, I've noticed a small amount of blood in my sputum in the mornings when I cough up. It's not a lot, and only happens on and off, but the blood is bright red and looks fresh. The doctor gave me some antibiotics, but the blood is still there sometimes, even though the cough itself has gone away. I sometimes just feel like I need to clear my throat. I have my X-ray report ready too, just wondering if this is something to worry about?

View allI'm really struggling with this thick mucus at the back of my throat that's been around for about a year now. It just won't clear up no matter what I try. I've had an echo, chest X-ray, endoscopy, and colonoscopy, and everything comes back normal. Even when I use inhalers, the relief only lasts a couple of minutes. Whenever this sticky mucus gets stuck, I feel chest heaviness and have trouble breathing, but my pulmonary function test results are normal. I've had mild bronchitis since I was a kid, and one of the local doctors mentioned it might be cystic fibrosis, but he also said that's pretty unlikely. What could be causing this? I'm attaching pictures of my phlegm too.

I'm dealing with allergic bronchitis and allergic rhinitis for a while now, and I'm taking Ab Phylline SR 200 and Symbicort. I just got my blood test results back, and my ESR is at 24, which seems a bit high, and my lymphocytes are at 43.8, above the usual limit. Is this something I should be concerned about in relation to my allergy issues? Could these levels be contributing to my symptoms?
