Have Right Sided Chest Pain. Brown Color In Mucus. Took Antibiotics. Suggestions?

hello Dr., i've been having right-sided chest pain for about three months now, and that's only when i pull back my right shoulder. moreover, brown colors have been appearing in my mucus, especially in the morning. i took a pack of antibiotics that turned my regular mucus white, but that brown color still appeared every now and then.

You could ask your GP to culture the stuff you are coughing up. If you don't have any fevers, chills or chest pain then it's not likely anything to be too concerned about. If it does not get better or if it gets worse you should see your GP.
