My daughter Amy 14 years old, started to cough blood(fresh,2ml) mostly once a day, in the night, about a month ago,does not loose weight(on the contrary),does not sweat, completely health, no fever, or any other signs of sickness.
She went through blood checks, liver functions, ESR (all values are ok)
Continued with gastroendoscopy, according to the surgeon, a small polyp 4 mm in diameter was spotted at the end of the esophagus, which is not of any sort of concern
Continued with echo-heart (normal) according to pulmonologist
Continued with CT (normal).
Continued with ENT, no substantial findings (being put on klacid for 5 days)
Continued with bronchoscopy, according to pulmonologist,found some scarring on one lung, relating to a previous infection?),took brushings, cultures, and put Amy on augmentin for 10 days, during this 10 day she hardly coughed.(al kinds of tests, and cultures came all negative, including provisionally for TB)
Blood stained cough resumed, being put on moxifloxacin for 10 days, with no improvement, (cough interval every day/ 2 days, once in the night)
Continued with barium swallow (normal).
Before the cough, there is accumulating pressure/pain in the chest, creating an irritation /scratchy feeling as Amy describes for a minute or so, and the cough comes, sometimes that pain/pressure pulls to both side of the back as well.
