How Can Chronic Cough And Chest Congestion Be Treated?

I think I may have a lung fluke 4 years ago I just one day woke up with respiratory problems. I remember just before I started having respiratory problems I had a lot of chest pain and tightness in my chest. My symptoms are a cough that won t go away, a chest cold that won t go away, coughing up mucus continuously everyday for the past 4 years, when I cough up mucus I have blood spots in my mucus every now and then, diarrhea off and on, I have inflammation in my lungs that won t go away, I always have tightness in my chest and I m always short of breath.

Deep breathing exercises , walking in fresh air , YOGA help to recover faster . Avoid exposure to dust , pollens ; if necessary use triple layer face mask. You can take cefadroxyl twice a day for five days, you can take paracetamol twice a day or five days you can Rantac D twice a day for five day , give salbutamol twice a day for five days.
