What Causes Intermittent Cough As Per The Attached X-ray?
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am 30 year old male. I have cough which comes in spells after every 4-5 days for an hour or two. Yesterday I have had blood from mouth while brushing. I am not sure it was from gum or throat. I went to doctor who ordered chest x ray. Attached are the images of chest x ray. It has not been evaluated by radiologist as the place I am staying has minimal health facilities. Doctors said this x Ray is not complete normal. Now I am very scared after that as I have Googled a lot and my fear is lung cancer. Request you to please analyse the attached x Ray of chest and give me the detailed information.
