I've been having pain on the right side of my chest and noticed some bleeding when I cough during morning brushing. There's also shortness of breath when walking. My CT scan showed something about osteochondroma near the mid ribs on the right side, but the report wasn't definitive it had a question mark next to osteochondroma. I'd prefer medication over surgery which type of doctor should I see for this?

It mentioned that my bilateral lung fields show prominent broncho vascular markings, both hila are likely vascular and prominent, and there's a blunted right CP angle due to pleural effusion or pleural thickening. Should I be worried about these findings? What do these terms really mean for my lung health?

blunted cp angle means theres is fluid collection in her pleura

I'm really confused about my chest congestion issue I've had for a few years now. It always flares up if I don't take Foracort 200 or Citzen, which were given by my last doctor. One doctor said it's a dust allergy, but another mentioned bronchitis, so I'm not sure which one is right. I just want to find a cure and know what's actually causing this. Can you help me figure this out?

Forocort 200 inhaler sos is advised for breathing difficulty.
