What Causes A Sensitive Throat With Bubbly Phlegm?
I am 44 years old, and have a long history of asthma and chronic bronchitis. Lately I am developing a very sensitive throat and have tons of tiny bubbles when I cough up mucus. Lately hot flashes/head rushes are accompanying the cough. I used to smoke a variety of substances, but gave it up for the most part for dipping tobacco. I went through a horrible lung fungus but God healed me miraculously a few years ago. There are no signs of the fungus, but the bubbly phlegm seems to keep my throat coated and irritated/sensitive. I have lost all but 6 teeth due to severe periodontitis over the last 25 years. Guafenisin doesn t seem to loosen it, and dextromethorphan helps very little. I use albuterol, but it doesn t help the cough, just the asthma.
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Cough indicates that your asthma is not under control. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
