I noticed that both yesterday and today, while I was drinking water, I had a cough that caused a mild pain in the left side of my chest, right under the collarbone. It lasted for about 2 to 3 minutes after I coughed. What could this be? Should I be worried about this kind of pain occurring every time I drink?

Question

I've been dealing with this nasty dry cough that started when I had viral fever about two weeks ago. The fever and cold symptoms have cleared up, but the cough has stuck around and now it's less frequent but still there. The mucus has got this dark greenish-blackish tinge, which is worrying me a bit. It's been three weeks now, and I'm not sure what to do to get rid of it. Any advice on how to tackle this?

Question

Hey, I've been smoking about 10-12 cigarettes a day and lately I'm noticing some worrying things. There's a persistent pain in my throat and sometimes in my chest too. I'm also dealing with a sore throat alongside a coughing issue that's not going away. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do about it?
