What Does The Following Chest X-ray Result Indicate?

I have been coughing, hours at a time, since February 2015 (yes -- 2015). The cough is very productive, including blood. The chest x-ray indicates that there is no problem. Last night I coughed for 3 1/2 hours. I ve seen 2 ENTs, 2 Rheumatologists, 1 GP, and even an Oral surgeon. Any ideas? This is NOT a hoax. I m exhausted.

Hello,

A cough along with coughing blood is an alarming sign.

I suggest you consult a pulmonologist for clinical assessment and investigations like X-ray chest and CT scan if required.

It is important to rule out any possibility of malignancy in the lung.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
