I'm really having trouble breathing easily, even though I don't have asthma. It's like there's this hard mucus or phlegm stuck in my chest or lungs that's blocking the air. And every time I breathe, I make this whistling sound. Could you suggest some medicine for this?

So, I've been having some issues with thick sputum lately, and recently I've noticed a few blood spots in it, which is a bit unsettling. I went ahead and did a sputum culture test, and it came back saying I have positive gram cocci in pairs. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a bit concerned about what this might indicate for my health.

it means you are infected with bacteria ,take antibiotics
