Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion you are mostly having chronic lung infection or bronchitis. Because both these conditions can cause chronic cough and congestion. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray to rule out lung infection 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis. Sputum culture and sensitivity report is needed to identify the causative organism and starting appropriate antibiotic treatment. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
