I've been having a fever sometimes along with body aches, and my chest feels heavy. The X-ray shows some air in my chest, but I tested negative for COVID. What could be causing this?

I've got this question about a recent visit to a male doctor for my cough. He began the exam by touching above my left breast with the stethoscope, then moved beneath it, right on the breast, not where the lungs are. He repeated the same steps on my right breast. This kind of threw me off. Is that a standard part of examining a cough? I'm hesitant to accuse anyone without knowing if that was necessary, so I'd appreciate some clarity on this.

I had a fever last week and also a cough for about three days. For the past three mornings, I've been noticing blood in my sputum for about 5 to 10 minutes, then nothing the rest of the day. I still have an occasional cough. Should I be worried about this? I've attached my chest X-ray and CBC. Could you take a look and let me know?
The presence of blood in your sputum, known as hemoptysis, can have various causes such as infections, inflammation, or more serious conditions like pneumonia, bronchitis, or even pulmonary embolism. Considering your symptoms and test results, I recommend a course of antibiotics to treat any underlying infection. Additionally, an antitussive medication can help with your cough. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
