Can you help me figure out if there's blood in my sputum? I noticed something orange in it and I'm worried about what it might mean.

View allMy spouse has had a dry cough for the past two months. It's not constant or really severe, but it's been lingering for a while now. It all started with a fever and wet cough for two days, but now it's just a dry cough. He's been on medication for a week, and although its improved a bit, it hasn't completely gone away. Oddly enough, he sometimes starts coughing after drinking water. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution to this. Could you help us figure out what might be going on?

I've been dealing with this sputum issue for a while now. I used to be a smoker, but I quit about four months ago. Occasionally, I've had a cigarette maybe once a month since then. Lately, I've noticed this sputum in my throat every morning when I wake up. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
