<s>[INST] Hi my 16 year old son recently had a chest X-ray for a bad chest infection where he coughed up a small bit of blood. They have found little lesions on the right lung apex and sending him to a pulmanologist everytile I google the above I see the word cancer. I think I m going to be sick I am so scared! [/INST] Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Coughing out blood is known as hemoptysis. Hemoptysis with right upper love lesion on chest x-ray can be seen in following conditions. 1. Tuberculosis2. Pneumonia3. Lung cancer. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. CT thorax2. Sputum examination for tuberculosis and pneumonia. CT thorax will give you more idea about tuberculosis, pneumonia and lung cancer then chest x-ray. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. </s>
