I've been dealing with constant mucus in my chest, but I dont have a cough. I'm also experiencing ongoing chest and back pain, and sometimes I find it hard to breathe properly. Theres also a weird whistling sound coming from my chest. Should I be concerned? What could be causing these symptoms?

I've had this cough for about 45 days now and didn't really think much of it at first. I assumed it was just a regular cough, but today it started hurting on the right side of my chest when I cough. I'm using dry cough syrup at the moment, but should I be taking any other precautions? How can I avoid this chest pain when I cough?

My mom's had these symptoms like fever, cough, cold, and just feeling off for about a week now. The first doctor's tests were kind of inconclusive about whether it was TB or not. So, they sent her to another hospital where they did a bunch of more thorough tests like CT scans and skin tests and said she doesn't have TB. She's feeling better overall, but I'm still worried because she's still coughing. She did have a cough before that usually gets worse in winter and she's quite sensitive to the cold. My family thinks her coughing now is normal, but I'm not so sure. What do you think? Would love your guidance on this!

Tab ambroxil orally once daily,for 5 days at night for 7 days and Syrup salbutamol 10 ml orally thrice daily is advised to the patient.
