Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum). You are also having previous history of tuberculosis. So following are the likely causes for your hemoptysis. 1. Reactivation of tuberculosis 2. Post TB bronchitis 3. Post TB fibrosis and bronchiectasis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray, sputum examination for AFB (acid fast bacilli-bacteria causing tuberculosis) and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). On the basis of reports, treatment is directed. Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
