Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should get done further investigation to rule out infection.
Your all symptoms are suggestive of infection. And blood in cough with fibronodular opacities on chest x ray is seen most commonly in Tuberculosis.
So you must get done sputum for AFB. If this is negative than you should get done bronchoscopy and BAL (Broncho Alveolar Lavage) for AFB.
So better to consult pulmonologist and rule out TB. As there is strong possibility of TB in your case.
