Since January I have had discomfort in my left lung area. I had a series of test which didn t revile any obvious health problem. I m still having discomfort and also have a flemn build up in lower throat. I ve been going to the chiropractor and he found three ribs out of place and has tried to adjust them but they do not seam to stay in. He also said that my stomic and esophagus were out of place and adjusted them back. But I m still having discomfort in my chest and flemn buildup in the larynx area. Any ideas what it might be?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest discomfort with phlegm (sputum) production is common in chronic bronchitis. So we should rule out bronchitis in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
