I have had a congestive sounding cough for 3 weeks and have pain in the right hand side of my ribcage.I am 63 years old, 185 #, and generally good health.I have been doing alot of deep cleaning in our dusty old attic and at first thought it was due to all the dirt--I do cough up yellow phleghm.
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor ... Noted you have yellow congestive cough... History of dust exposure present . So you could have viral infection and secondary to it just now bacterial infection can occur... You can here have bronchitis like infection. Take levoflixacin or definite for 7 days. If needed decongestant can take like cetirizine or oxymetazoline... Chat Doctor. ... Steam inhalation.... If condition worsen chest x-ray and sputum examination done.....to rule out pneumonia like infection...... Still according to my opinion your auscultation done first which gives clue for your condition...
