Having A Respiratory Issue. No Mucous In Airways Of Nose. Having Itchy Lungs,cough, Wheeze And Back Pain. Suggestion?
Am experiencing a respiratory issue. No mucous in airways or nose. Lungs are itchy and have a urge to cough. Slight wheeze and back pain. For the last 3 days this has been present but not terrible. Recently (last 12hrs) I have been experiencing a musty smell most of the time regardless of my location when breathing that is further provoking my cough. I am confused

Hi, it appearsw to be the upper respiratory infection, involving the nose, pharynx, etc. There will be a projection at the posterior end of the soft palate, called uvula. which if enlarges may cause dry cough. And the smell could be due to the foul smelling discharge of the nose and throat. So i advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
