[|AI|]  Hello appreciate your concern this could be due to any of followingTuberculosisAcute Bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial airway)Lung cancer In my opinion you should immediately consult a pulmonologist for examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC ESR Sputum examination and culture or a bronchoscopy if need be. You can take steam inhalation gargling with warm saline water or antiseptic solutions deep breathing exercises thanks for your question best wishes
