Patient: Dear Doctor,  I am 40 year old mail hight-175 weight-162 kg  from India, my problem is that I have felt cold and cough yearly one or two times it seems past few years, firstly started normal sneeze one or two days and getting after days cough and body pain especially joints then morning come out from mouth more quantity sputum it colored yellow it still about one week then day by day sputum got normal.  I visited many doctors and test blood and sputum they told us there is no problem in your bold and sputum. I had been took the treatment of TB in 1993. Now I asking you doctor what is the disease I felt ? waiting for your valuable reply. Doctor: Thanks for contacting HCM. Dear patient having cough and cold one or 2 times a year is better than normal as most people suffer more. As you have been tested for tuberculosis and found to negative you should not worry about TB anymore. You have not mentioned whether you smoke or not as smokers tend to generate more sputum. Also if you are living in a metro city pollution is also an important factor for sputum formation. As you have mentioned that you have gradually improved so most likely you had a normal infection which can happen to anyone, so stop worrying and relax. Regards
