Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My name is Angie, I'm 67 years old, 5'5" tall and weigh 125 lbs. I was diagnosed with triple pneumonia and was hospitalized for 4 days. I have a very dry cough that is getting worse. My doctor wants me to cough up mucus/phlegm, but no matter what I try (steam, lemon, expectorants, etc...) nothing has worked. I need to cough up something soon or I'll be back in the hospital and they'll putting a scope down my throat! Thank you, Angie
