What Causes Brown Sputum And Vomiting?
Question: Ihave extreme hacking especially laying down and spitting up brown sputum,what is the answer?? its been over a year now and its in my chest deeply!!
Brief Answer:
This may be reflux disease!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this hacking cough. The description and duration of this is suggestive of a possible acid reflux disease. This is one of the most common causes of chronic non productive cough. Treatment consists in correctly identifying the cause and managing accordingly. Seen the duration, I will suggest that you get evaluated by a gastroenterologist for confirmation before going on treatment. Treatment greatly depends on findings and extend of the problem.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
