Okay since the end of June 2017 I have had chest congestion, runny nose, spitting up, coughing up brownish to greenish thick phlegm. My chest has a rattle to it. I don t have asthma, at first they treated it as an upper chest infection, put me on two rounds of ABT but it still continues. I ve never had this before. I went back to the ER and this Dr. said it was allergies put me on mucinex, Albuterol inhaler, nasal spray, and it s still not better.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of allergic rhinitis is more likely. Best treatment for allergic rhinitis is intranasal spray containing steroid (fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti-allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial. Also do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.  Chat Doctor.
