I've been feeling this pain on the right side of my chest whenever I take a deep breath or sneeze. It's been going on for about two months, and sometimes it feels mild, but other times it's sharp. Plus, it hurts more when I do anything physical. The pain even goes up to my right shoulder and back. I don't have a cough or sore throat or anything like that, just this weird pain. What do you think it could be?

I'm really worried because I've had this dry cough for almost two years now, and it's making it hard to breathe when I'm lying down. Plus, I also suffer from migraines. Could these be connected somehow, and what should I do about it?

I've been going through my chest X-ray report from a few days ago, and it mentions something about "Rt. Infra Hilar Congestion." Should I be worried about this? And what kind of treatment would be recommended? Right now, I'm only experiencing some pain in my right ear and jaw, but no other symptoms.

The finding of "right infra-hilar congestion" on your chest X-ray suggests mild congestion in the lung area near the right hilum, often related to inflammation or fluid retention. It doesn't seem immediately serious, but given your ear and jaw pain, it could indicate an upper respiratory or ENT-related issue. I recommend seeing a doctor for a full evaluation and appropriate treatment, as medications will depend on the underlying cause.
