I'm a bit worried because my test results showed high hemoglobin and PCV levels. I'm a regular smoker and recently I've been having issues with breathing, occasional chest pain, and a persistent cough. Can you help me understand what this might mean?

View allI'm getting a bit worried here. So, about 10 days ago, I had a viral fever and a cough. The fever went away, but this cough is still sticking around. And every morning, I'm noticing that I'm coughing up some orange mucus. I used to be a smoker but quit recently, though I still smoke occasionally. Should I be concerned about this cough and the orange mucus, or is it just part of the healing process? What should I do?

I'm dealing with a really heavy dry cough at night and it's gotten so bad that I can't sleep well. It's even causing stomach pain because I'm coughing so hard. This seems to happen a lot, like once a month, and then it sticks around for about two weeks. I've seen general physicians and they mention things like throat infections or seasonal changes, but it keeps coming back every month or two. I'm really trying to figure out what's causing this so I can find a permanent solution. What kind of specialist should I see to get to the bottom of this?

I'm really worried about my husband's recent x-ray for his job. It's showing right hilar congestion, and although he's not coughing, he does have a cold. Do you think there's any medicine that could help, or maybe some advice on how to clear this up? He really needs the medical report to go abroad, and we're not sure what to do next.
Right hilar congestion on an X-ray can indicate mild inflammation or vascular congestion, possibly due to his cold. Since he has no cough or significant symptoms, supportive care like steam inhalation and staying hydrated may help. If required urgently for his medical report, consult a pulmonologist to rule out any underlying condition.
