I'm dealing with a dust allergy and have been for 56 years. After a cold, it feels like my chest gets blocked up with cough, and I struggle to breathe properly. Over the past 3 months, I've started to notice a pain on just the right side of my chest. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and what I should do about it?

I'm experiencing chest pain and discomfort for the past two days, along with pain in my throat and neck that's getting worse. The pain is all around my rib cage and near my clavicle, and it feels like something is pressing on my chest. I've also had a cough that was quite bad yesterday, but it's a bit better today. The cough is dry, but in the mornings I'm coughing up white sputum and have been for quite a while. I haven't had a fever or lost my appetite. Could this be TB or something else?

I've had this wet cough for about a month now, and it seems to get worse at night. I've tried a couple of different cough syrups, but they haven't really helped. Should I be worried? What else could be causing this, and what can I do to get some relief?
