Why Am I Coughing All The Day?

I have water in the lungs according to my doctor. He has put me on a water pill. He told me this would help my cough. But I have been coughing all day and sometimes it feels like I cannot breathe. Also when I eat it feels that way too. Can you please answer my question.

Whether you have any associated heart, kidney, liver problem? If so, then water pills may work...but if you have infection related water in lung, then water has to be aspirated & sent for investigation to search for the cause..& doctor will start medicine for it...consult chest physician..
