I'm a bit worried because I had a chest infection and hemoptysis back in 2016, but antibiotics worked then. In April 2017, I experienced more hemoptysis, and the culture showed MTB for Pulmonary ATB, which I completed 9 months of medication for. Since then, I've sometimes had blood in my cough which the doctor said is from a scar. But today, I sneezed and there was blood again. My doctor advised taking Pause 500 in these situations. Is it normal to have blood in my cough after TB or could this be a new infection?

I'm currently dealing with bronchitis and take Combitide125, two puffs daily, to manage it. I've just gotten over a fever, but now I can't seem to shake off this persistent cough. I'm wondering if it's safe to start taking an expectorant like Ascoril along with my inhalers. Is that advisable, or should I avoid mixing them?

yes

I'm dealing with some post-COVID issues and could really use some advice. When I'm teaching or talking a lot, I get this strange pain in my trachea, from my throat to my chest, almost like chest pain, but my ECG was normal. I've had breathlessness too, especially when putting pressure on my voice during classes. My COVID test was positive back on April 23rd and then again on May 5th. I had an HRCT on May 9th which was 0, D-dimer was 490, and CRP was 3.95. Now I'm feeling weak, have a little bit of a dry cough, a sense of cold on the inside, and some gastric issues. What do you think could be going on, and how can I address these symptoms?

take pantop 40mg for 5 days
