I have a thickly cough but am experiencing a burning sensation in upper part of my back to the left of my spine I saw my GP about the burning sensation 2 weeks ago ( didnt have the cough then) but he said its nothing to worry about but I am worrying because he didnt examine me, Ive asked him to check but he thinksim depressed so wont examine me! What should I do?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since you are not improving and having cough with thick phlegm, possibility of lower respiratory tract infection (LETI) is more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x-ray. Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. You may need antibiotic, bucolic and expectorant Chat Doctor.  Bucolic
