I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past two months and it's really getting to me. I've tried all sorts of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Why isn't this going away? What else can I do to finally get some relief?

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?

Patient is advised sputum for AFB and culture and sensitivity tests. pulmonologist opinion .
