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.
Morning Doc, I have been coughing for almost a week now and I can't control it at times. I cough thick yellow mucus in the mornings and dry coughs in the pm. Yesterday pm, my right chest started to hurt when I cough. I've been taking Mucinex Max and Robittussin PM. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this? Should I see a Do? And why is my chest hurting? Thanks, -Anita
Dear friend. Welcome to healthcaremagic. This seems to be due to lower respiratory tract infection. I would advise you to get following investigations : 1. Chest xray 2. Hemogram with ESR 3. Sputum for gram stain and culture. Stay healthy
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if you do not have fever then this would be allergic cough and this can be managed with simple measurement like anti-histamine, Tab Loratidine with pseudoephedrine three time in day, you can also try pure honey prior to bed, take care.
