[|Human|] I have had sore throat since last Monday, I have trouble breathing since Tuesday morning. Saw doctor that evening and he said i have throat and lung infection and gave me antibiotics. Today is Sunday and I am still coughing, no more runny nose, at times I cough out pleghm with blood and I notice a tiny black dot on my throat and 2 white spots (look like ulcer) inner throat near tonsil. What could this mean?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum).  And it is seen in following conditions. 1. Tuberculosis2. Pneumonia3. Bronchitis4. Lung cancer etc. So better to get done1. Chest x-ray. 2. PUT (pulmonary function test). 3. CT thorax if required. Chest x-ray and CT thorax are needed to rule out tuberculosis, pneumonia and lung cancer. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
