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 allI've been dealing with this really bad cough for almost 20 days now. It's mostly at night and comes with mild yellow sputum. Sometimes, the coughing gets so bad that I feel breathless, and its tough to even sit up straight. I havent had any fever, body pain, or other symptoms like COVID-19, and I havent traveled or been in contact with anyone who could've been sick. Ive tried nebulizers, steam, gargling, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and how can I find some relief?
do a chest xray

I've been dealing with a cough for over two weeks, and my throat is super itchy, especially at night. It kicked off with a fever, but that's gone now. Still, my throat feels the same. Any ideas on what might be going on or what I should do next?
persistent cough and itchy throat for over two weeks, especially after a fever, may indicate an underlying condition such as a lingering respiratory infection, allergies, acid reflux, or postnasal drip; a proper evaluation and diagnostic tests (e.g., throat swab, chest X-ray) can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
