Suggest Treatment For Cough With Phlegm
I hhazve
I have been having a cough for a month now. Gets bad in p.m. Then again in a.m. That is when I sit and cough up huge phlegm ,until it is all up I do not stop coughing. Then cough through out the day. Just got done having a coughing attack and threw up. I do get bronchitis once or twice a year, which I thought this was when it started. But it's not going away.
