[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks) and hemoptysis (blood in sputum) which is not relieved by routine Chat Doctor.  So we should definitely rule out lung infection (pneumonia or tuberculosis) and bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You will need higher antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) based on the reports. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
