Avatar n tn I hope you are getting some relief from your chest congestion. Mucus is like poison to the lungs and it must be released for both the sake of your health and your comfort! A natural mucokinetic is found in salt therapy. You should either breathe in the steam from a saline solution with your head tented over a bowl (the economic alternative) or check out the salt pipe inhalers (dry salt inhalation therapy) at: http://www.saltrocks.

Avatar f tn I been having coughing, chest congestion, nasal congestion and coughing up nasty stuff (mucus) ewww. What can I take or what can I do to fight this bug? Because I feel hopeless.
1516809 tn?1345082764 Is a Hacking Cough with sounds of congestion in the upper chest typical of COPD? My mother for the last month would expel white colored globs of mucus periodically after a few minutes of coughing. She has no fever nor loss of appetite. Her geriatrician tried Azithromycin 500mg tabs for 5 days which seemed to help but then the coughing and globs returned. The doctor then doubled her Pulmicort doseage in her Nebulizer for two weeks to see if that helped plus using Robitussin as needed.
Avatar f tn The mucus coming from chest is a creamy pale green. I also have constant mucus in my throat also of a creamy consistency but not as green and sometimes clear to whitish. I believe both of my lymph nodes in my neck are swollen and hurt. Ears are bothersome also. It hurts to touch my forehead around eyebrows and area around bridge of nose hurts also. Sinus pressure headache present. If I barely press on my eyes they hurt.
Avatar m tn everyday since may till now, september, i have to hock out the mucus because it builds up in my throat and gets annoying. there isnt blood and some times it is white with yellow, but mostly always white, i also get mild chest pains and headaches, what could this be? could it be serious? also i smoked weed from time to time in that time period, i also quit that though, i have major anxiety that i have something bad. please help.
Avatar n tn ALL OF A SUDDEN this evening my throat became scratchy, then I developed a cough and runny nose. After a few hours I could hear congestion in my chest. After a few cups of hot team with honey, lemon and a little brandy i spit up a greenish color mucus that eventually turned clear. Most of the rattle in my chest is gone, but my throat is sore and I do not have a fever. What is going on???
Avatar f tn t think coughing and chest congestion is part of it. It is cold and flu season so maybe you have a cold? I could be wrong though.
Avatar m tn Mucinex just thins the mucus...an antihistamine will help prevent the mucus from being produced in the first place. Try another antihistamine...they each work differently and another one might work better for you.
Avatar m tn If the mucus feels like its coming from the base of your chest then it suggests that the infection is quiet low down your respiratory tract. If you have been feeling more tired or weak this would be the cause of it because you would be unable to transpport enough oxygen to the rest of your body causing fatigue. If you do have a respiratory infection and you chose not to be treated by a gp then you run the risk of pneumonia which would land you in the hospital eventually.
Avatar m tn It is day three, the congestion has turned into off in on congestion with a runny nose when not congested, a consistent cough with me trying to get the mucus out of my chest, to a dry cough.
Avatar f tn After eating certain foods I get quite a bit of mucus build-up in my lungs and find myself coughing a lot after meals. I'm 17 years old and don't think this is due to acid reflux as I don't have any other symptoms and am quite young. I notice it immediately after I finish eating (not sure if it actually starts during eating as I'm not really focused on how my chest feels while eating). Does anyone have any idea of what this may be?
Avatar f tn By next morning I had congestion there. I also had a thick creamy like mucus coming from my nose. I always have nasal congestion but this was worse. I had a cough in the first few days (mostly at night) then it went away. But not the nasal congestion or the lung congestion.I have no cough to try and get the phglem out of the lung. So I have to try and hack and push it out. I cannot seem to get rid of it completely. Chest is sore from trying to force this up.
Avatar n tn m still worried about this off and pressure is because I use to smoke and I have this congestion with thick white mucus that I had for a while(have no cough, no chill, no other serious symptoms).
3120463 tn?1342056817 I have been having cold symptoms for two weeks this Friday. It started out as a scratchy/sore throat, then turned into me almost losing my voice (laryngitis), then back to a sore throat, and now it's a hacking cough with mucus in my throat and a little sinus congestion. Would you recommend I see a doctor? It's showing no signs of letting up and I am unable to hear out of my left ear from the congestion.
Avatar m tn Right now i cough up mucus usually white, sometimes yellow mixed with it. My chest has a tightness to it and it feels sometimes a bit uncomfortable in my chest. I am wheezing, i am a smoker but i have been trying to cut back since i got sick. My chest however hurts really bad when i cough, but i think this is due to coughing as much as i have. Everyone else in the house is feeling better and still has a slight cough but i seem to be keeping sick.
Avatar m tn Hello all, for about a month now I have had a cough with chest congestion, sometimes it's productive, sometimes it's not, and I cough up green and yellow sputum. I also have nasal congestion and when I blog my nose it's green mucus. The symptoms actually seem to go away late night and return a while after I wake up. I have had no fever and no other symptoms. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Avatar m tn A couple of days ago, I contract something outside and the next day, I began having serious chills, stuffy nose, chest feeling stuffy, etc. Then the next day, it got worse (and yes, I took medicine for flu/cold) with coughing up (I'm presuming) some bloody mucus several times (it's more like a rust color), dry coughing mostly, severe chest congestion (Robatusson {sp?} doesn't work), and severe congestion in my nose.
Avatar f tn After being on Copaxone for 3 months I developed difficulty breathing and severe chest congestion and it will not go away even after taking broad spectrum antibiotics. My dr. denies any connection with Copaxone. But it is the only thing that has changed in my life - taking Copaxone injections. Has anyone heard of a link.
Avatar f tn Did 2 complete antibiotic regemes... finally had a chest xray since I was still coughing and the doc cough hear congestion in both sides of mylungs. Three weeks later and I still have this night wheezing and sensation in the lower lungs which is loud enough to wake me... and my husband. Eventually, I cough and cough and sometimes produce a "plug" of mucus. This gives me relief and I can sleep. But the wheezing returns...
Avatar m tn I had a cold from 02/17 - 02/26 and then I got another cold from 03/03 - 03/16. Symptoms of my cold were runny nose, cough and congestion. Every morning I would spit out green phlegm and afterwards it would be clear. So on 03/16 everything cleared out, no longer had any cold symptoms; although I was left with a cough, somewhat tight chest and short breath. There's no mucus, it's a dry cough and any mucus I spit out or blow out is clear.
Avatar m tn ve noticed redness in my throat, what appeared to be a white spot on one tonsil that has since disappeared, and some congestion. There is an occasional cough that can be either dry or productive, and when I produce mucus, it tends to be grayish-yellow. I have no fever, and no swollen glands.
Avatar m tn t call off but once or twice a year if that i have a question i have been really healthy never had much breathing problems sense right before Easter when i had really bad acid reflex had a stuffy nose off on over the winter thought it was from dairy products or might have been a side effect from the otc prilosec i was taking because i stopped the dairy and stopped taking the otc prilosec not knowing that it would have a rebound effect acid kept coming up in my throat when i was sleeping would c
16898319 tn?1452220901 Now I got this horrible cough and chest pain when I do, like a burning sensation. by now my congestion is gone so no runny nose or pressure like before. I have coughed up yellow mucus streaked with blood (very little blood) only twice. but haven't since. I wrote it off as irritation but this cough and burning sensation in my chest has got me worried. and I dont want to go to my doctor again for it if it is just the aftermath of my cold.
Avatar n tn Has anybody check your sinuses? I have polyps in my sinus which cause congestion and post nasal drip. I'm running to the bathroom frequently to cough up mucus from my throat. You could try using a neti pot and see if your symptoms will improve at all. Acid reflux is also capable of giving you a sore throat and cough.
