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?

See an orthopedic or thoracic surgeon; further imaging may clarify the diagnosis before considering any invasive steps.

I've been dealing with this sputum issue for a while now. I used to be a smoker, but I quit about four months ago. Occasionally, I've had a cigarette maybe once a month since then. Lately, I've noticed this sputum in my throat every morning when I wake up. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?

I'm experiencing a bit of pain in my right shoulder, kind of in the back area. I just had an X-ray on my spine, both AP and lateral views. The results mentioned something about a "suspicious opacity" in the posterior mediastinum and some pleural thickening. Could you help me understand what this means? I'm a bit worried about it.
