I've been having a cold and cough for the last ten days, and it's typical for me to have a cough for about two weeks. But this time, something unusual happened. In the mornings, when I cough and spit, there's a little blood mixed with the mucus or sputum. It started happening in the last two days, and it's freaking me out a bit. This morning, I even coughed on purpose to see if it would happen again, and it did. I don't smoke, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can you tell me what this might be and what I should do?

I've been having some health issues that are worrying me. Last year, I had TB and got it sorted out with a CT scan. The main symptoms were blood in my sputum and nose. I finished my 6-month treatment in June 2022, but these past 3 months, I've been having this pain on the right side of my chest. The X-rays are coming back normal, but when I take deep breaths, that pain is still there. And for the last 5-10 days, whenever I do yoga or deep breathing exercises, a bit of blood comes from my right nostril. What do you think could be going on?

I'm really worried about my mom. She tested positive for Corona about 15 days ago and was just discharged from the hospital 2 days ago after receiving a Dexamethasone injection for 5 days. Her fever is gone, but she's still having some issues like occasional cough, weakness, and chest and back pain when she coughs. How long do you think these symptoms will stick around?

for almost 2 weeks

I'm feeling really anxious about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Lately, I've noticed I'm short of breath, especially when I'm trying to sleep. It's been accompanied by a whizzing sound, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Plus, I've realized that one of my ankles is swollen on the inside. Could these things be related? What might be going on?
