What Causes Tickling Feelings In Chest, Wheezing And Foul Taste In Mouth?

default
Posted on Wed, 27 May 2015
Question: had acute bronchitis after Valentine's Day for a about three weeks after a bad chest head cold. Received treatment and inhalers/antibiotics...symptoms went away completely by third week of March. However, I noticed a slight tickle after eating some sauteed canned salmon around April 15th...a micro piece got inhaled, but I coughed it up immediately. No problems for a week, but a tiny tickle started in my chest that was similar to my earlier bout with bronchitis. in the last two weeks, it's gotten slowly gotten worse with some slight wheezing and a fishy taste in back of my mouth when I cough. No shortness of breath, or inability to exercise, and just a very light sputum in color and amount. Should I be concerned or give it time to pass?

Brief Answer:
No need to worry for this symptom.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are not having breathlessness, able to exercise well and having very less sputum expectoration, possibility of bronchitis is very very less at present.
So no need to worry much for this.
But better to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
Please let me know
1. Are you smoker?
2. Are you still taking albuterol?
3. Do you have fever?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
