I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the past two months. I've tried different treatments allopathic, ayurvedic, and homeopathic, but nothing seems to provide relief. It gets particularly bad whenever I'm near an air conditioner. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest anything else I should try?

I'm a regular weed smoker, and I've noticed lately that I'm coughing up bloody mucus. I'm pretty sure it's from my smoking habit. I think I might have bronchitis because the symptoms match up. Even before I started smoking, I used to cough every morning when I woke up. I've tried to cut back and even quit smoking. Can you tell me the best way to deal with this? Any remedies I should know about?

quitting smoking is the first and foremost thing you need to do. and then consult a pulmonologist for detailed evaluation. blood in sputum is not a small thing. don't ignore this further.

I'm really worried because I've had this persistent cough for around 20 days now, and in the mornings, it's even harder because I cough up a bit of blood. Should I be concerned about a serious health issue, or could it just be something related to the changing seasons?
