yes this is possible but this would be diagnosis of exclusion.to exclude all other options. As chest x-ray is normal.Is blood continuously coming with sputum or was it just one episode???
Keeping your age and this chest xray.. Cancer is unlikely as chest xray is perfectly normal.. Baqi I would like to ask you additional questions..
Like weight loss.
Night sweats
Fever
And more over a single test of sputum can not exclude TB.. So you needs two more tests.
And hemoptysis that is blood in sputum maybe because of stomach ulcer or TB
So please respond to my questions and do accordingly.

So please kindly do pulmonary function test that's called PFTs. As I have a strong suspicious that u are having mild asthma and ur cough can be treated with proper treatment.

So for proper diagnosis you need PFTS with reversiblity test. Culture test will exclude TB.. And ur cough is because of wheezy chest..
