Trouble breathing and blood in phlegm
I am having trouble breathing for the last 3-4 weeks and this morning I noticed some blood in my sputum. I used to be a regular smoker smoking about 2 cigarettes a day but I had cut that down to about 2 cigarettes a week or so. But now I plan on giving that up altogether. Please advise.

Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like chest x ray and pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of bronchitis based on which treatment can be started. You can also get help to quit smoking. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest
