I've been dealing with a coughing issue over the past week, and it's really getting out of hand, especially at night. It's making it hard to sleep because there's also this white mucus that keeps coming up from my throat. I'm considering taking a cough expectorant, but I'm not sure if that's the best move. What do you think? Should I try medication, or is there something else I should do?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. His CT scan just showed that he has right-sided pleural effusion with a solid component, and there's something about subsegmental collapse consolidation. Could these findings mean he might have developed some kind of malignancy? I'm not sure what to think and could really use some guidance.
No we can't tell only on CT reports

I've been dealing with some thick sputum lately, and it's got this slightly brown tint to it. I had a chest X-ray done, and it came back normal, but I'm still a bit worried because I had a cold about three weeks ago. Do you think I should be concerned about what's causing it, or is it just leftover from the cold?

My husband has been experiencing episodes of sighing and breathing difficulty. A month ago, it seemed to come and go, but recently it's gotten worse. We finally saw a doctor who said he has bronchitis, even though his ECG, sugar, and most test results were normal, apart from a bit of chest congestion and a high TLC indicating some infection. He's on Augmentin, montair fx, and Pantop D now, plus an inhaler. Im concerned because hes still sighing and Im just wondering if this is normal as he starts treatment. His oxygen saturation is at 97-98. Should I be worried or is there anything else we should be doing to help him get better?
