Hey I just wanted to know if you can solve my problem that I have. I keep coughing up tons of yellow mucus everyday and I have been sick since last Thursday. I have also noticed that sometimes when I cough it is a nasty smell. About a year ago I had bronchitis and now I am starting to cough like crazy. what does this mean.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Cough with plenty of mucus (phlegm) in bronchitis patient suggest that bronchitis is not totally cured. Best treatment for bronchitis is inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will 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 ICS (Budesonide or fluticasone). Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
