I'm dealing with this dry cough that just won't go away. It's been ages, and nothing seems to come up when I cough. I've already gone to the hospital and got tested. The docs gave me some tablets and did an X-ray too. But even after all of this, the cough hasnt stopped. One of the doctors mentioned it's not TB and said my chest looks clear. So what else could be causing this? I'm 26, don't smoke, and only drink alcohol on rare occasions and in small amounts. Just trying to figure out what's going on here.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I've been having shortness of breath ever since I got my first dose of Covaxin. I did see a doctor, and they suggested I take Broclear and get an X-ray. I got the X-ray results back, and they were mostly normal except for this note about increased bronchovascular markings in both lung fields. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean, and what steps should I take next?

pulmonary function test, blood test

I'm a 28-year-old male and Ive noticed some blood in my spit, mostly in the mornings after I wake up. I dont smoke and I'm generally healthy with no cough or anything like that. I sometimes deal with allergies, so I'm wondering if that could be causing it? Ive had a chest X-ray and it was all good. I also occasionally have gas issues and migraines. What could be causing the blood in my sputum?

that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.
