I've been dealing with phlegm for about a month now, but I don't have any other symptoms that make me feel like I'm sick. I've already talked to a local doctor, but I was hoping to get a second opinion on what might be going on. Any ideas?

I'm really concerned about my MRI scan results that showed a pleural effusion and SOL on the right side of my chest. I've already been on medication for 12 months, and the doctor mentioned that a scar might appear but said I don't need to take more medication. Should I be worried about this scar, and is it normal to stop medication now?

My husband has had this really stubborn dry cough for over a year now, and it seems worst in the early morning, especially when he's using the washroom. I'm really curious what's causing this and if there's something specific we should be doing or looking into? It's been going on for so long, and I'm a bit worried.

I've had a cold and cough for the past two weeksno fever or anything else. My cough started off dry and turned into a wet cough about a week ago. I initially took Azithromycin 500 once a day for five days, and now I'm on my third day of taking Cefixime 200 twice a day. I've also been taking Rexcof DX cough syrup three times daily. The cough is getting better, but for the last two mornings, I've noticed blood in my sputum. When I wake up, I have this urge to cough and it brings up sticky mucus with red color, but it only happens in the morning. The wet cough is still hanging around, but it's not as bad as before. Could you help me figure out why there's blood in my sputum?
