Sir my age is 42 years and weight is 83 kgs. I have no specific disease. I have productive cough for the last 3 months. x-ray of chest showed no active pathology in the lungs. sputum comes out often after getting meal or taking tea. wha the cause may and remedy please
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. You are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks) and phlegm (sputum). Common causes for these are lung infection and bronchitis. Since your chest x ray is normal, no need to worry for lung infection. So we should rule out bronchitis in your case. So Consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
