I'm experiencing this really uncomfortable chest tightness along with some pain in both the lower and upper parts of my right chest. I've also been dealing with sneezing and watery eyes that come with a cough. When I do cough, there's this light yellow mucus with a few greenish pieces. The pain's gotten a bit worse over the past two days, especially when I'm sitting or sleeping on my right side. What could this be?

I've managed to quit smoking about a month ago, but now I'm experiencing some minor chest pain and a bit of a cough. Can you help me figure out how to deal with these symptoms?

I'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. It feels like my chest is blocked, and there's an unwanted cough that's causing my lungs to feel like they're blocked too. It's making it really hard to run or even catch my breath sometimes. Could this be a chest infection or something else? What can I do to help clear this up?

I'm dealing with a dry cough that's been lingering for the past 7 days. I've been taking montair lc and alex cough syrup, and while there's been some relief, it feels like the cough actually gets worse when I'm at home. Is that normal, or is there something else I should be doing to help with this?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
