This is going on to the third day of my throat feeling clogged with mucus and hacking cough. No hystory of allergies. Did have each eyes a little a few days ago. But this really started after a heavy workout in the gym on Friday. I ve been resting since Friday morning and drinking lots of fluids, resting, etc. took mucinnex once and some homeopathic decongestant and cough drops. Cough is worst when I lay down. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of viral infection is more. Viral infection can sometimes cause bronchitis (inflammation of airways) and this in turn causes breathlessness. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright with all these Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
