My Sister Is 25 Years Old. She Is Suffering From

My sister is 25 years old. She is suffering from occasional hemoptysis for last 2.5 years. After the first incident, different diagnostic tests were performed like CT scan, sputum test and X-ray. A lesion was found in the right upper lung and sputum test result was negative for TB. But doctor prescribed TB medication. A full course was completed. Than again same incident. This time another pulmonologist and asthma specialist suggest broncoscopy, geneXpert test and gave some asthma medication like montelukast, seretide evohaler and steroid. 10 days ago, another CT scan done and the expression was- 'Nodular soft tissue lesion (? granuloma) at left upper lung with infiltration, ground opacity and centrilobular emphysema at both lungs with enlarged mediastinal &left hilar LNs; possibly inflammation (?tuberculosis).'
Her complain was and is fresh blood leaks from somewhere inside the chest and it only comes up in the mouth if she coughs. Otherwise the blood goes down. First time when she bleed, it was quite alarming in amount. No fever or cough was associated. Only she feel nausea, tightness of breath and a pressure in chest. She occasionally have moving pain in chest.
