Common Questions and Answers about Coughing mucus for 3 weeks

Avatar m tn As you have had the persistent cough now for 3 weeks or so, I suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor to examine your throat and lungs and do a lung function test. If the doctor feels your cough is as a result of a bacterial infection, he will prescribe an antibiotic for you. Having a cough is the body's natural way of trying to get rid of an irritant, whether this is a virus or a bacterial, dust particles, irritation by smoke and fumes etc.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I've had an infection for about 3 weeks now, fever for 2. I'm worried since I already took zpack, amoxicilyn and now am on flagyl and prednisone and it's not clearing up. maybe it could be viral or something else. My nose is really sore and bleeding sometimes and I'm getting clear mucus.
Avatar f tn Hi, I’m a 28 year old female and have been suffering from these cold-like symptoms for over 3 weeks. Hoping someone can help me figure out what’s wrong and maybe some options I might have.
Avatar f tn During the beginning of my pregnancy I had the nastiest cough with mucus. Eww. My cough lasted about a good 3 weeks. Felt like forever. I didn't take any medicine but I did make home remedies that consisted of teas with lemon, honey, garlic, and chayanne pepper. Google cough remedies and they give you information on how to make them and what ingredients. Now I am 11 weeks and no cough in sight.

Avatar f tn I got sick about 3 weeks ago i was coughing real bad i felt like i had mucus in my chest but couldnt get them out i decided to just not take medicine i only took lemon with honey i guess the mucus cleared up on its own because i could never spit them out it lasted about a week and 1/2 the only thing that happened was i pulled a muscle coughing but nothing super bad..
Avatar m tn My symptoms started a month ago when i had a fever, throat pain, coughing up yellow mucus and a runny nose, so i decided to visit my doctor which prescribed Klacid 500 mg (Clarithromycin), which i took and after a few days the runny nose stopped and my throat no longer hurt, however, i was still caughing, which a follow-up to my doctor gave me Valdocef (Cefadroxil) which i also took but the cough remained.
Avatar m tn I had a dry and itching throat, so it makes me coughing for about 3 weeks, what should I do?
Avatar m tn It comes and goes and I have been almost perfect for part of the summer, then I went to the city and stayed in a place with possible mold for two weeks. I also slept little and had some drinks. It got a lot worse when I came back home to nature again. Horrible cough at night only (sometimes when I exercise as well) when I lie down. It is also hard to breath and at times a lot of clear mucus, just like I had a horrible cold. After about 3 hours it goes away leaving me exhausted.
Avatar f tn Almost 3 weeks ago I thought I had a bad cold that lasted about 5 days, then it turned into a pesty mucus cough so I bought simple linctus which didnt help. After a further 5 days I went to the doctor because I thought I might have had an infection but I got the all clear and doctor told me to just eat chicken soup... I don't like soup. 10 days on and I'm still coughing mucus and my nose is still a little runny.
Avatar n tn Barbara533 Have you tried an antihistamine? rushtyyyyy green and yellow flem should not be coming up from allergy unless it is stomach acid. Usually allergy is clear mucus. I'm not a doctor but I wonder if it is a bacteria infection. Sorry I don't know the correct answer. Maybe the doctors are correct too. I just personally haven't heard of colored mucus from allergy. Allergy can cause mucus that can lead to bacteria infection too. See another doctor.
Avatar n tn Ive been coughing and spitting out yellow to green mucus for 7 days now what should I do ?is this a normal cold ?
Avatar m tn Hello. I'm 18 years old and I've been coughing continuously for about a year. The cough has changed a lot since it started, and now It seems to be entirely due to to mucus build up around my lungs. The cough is stronger before I sleep through when I wake up or when it wakes me up (when it is the worst). At times, the mucus coughed out is either thick and yellow (but not much is coughed out) or it is clear and runny but is coughed out in half a mouthfuls.
Avatar f tn I've been coughing for 2 months and still going. It's almost only at rest, not when I speak or exercise. IT feels like a tickle, most of the time like it's from the deep parts of the troat. Clearing my throat doesn't work, only coughing. It's driving me crazy. Some clear mucus does come up, sometimes a bit of yellow too, and sometimes nothing. No other symptoms. No breathlessness, no blood.. Have been to my GP, waiting for the results of a mucus sample.
Avatar n tn s a coincidence but my other roommate is also coughing for the last 3 months with the same symptoms. Nothing wrong with the place however, a few other people live here with nothing.
Avatar n tn Starting from 02/23/2008 (the 37th day after last exposure), I started coughing with productive thick dark yellow mucus, runny nose, sore throat. However there was no fever until 03/02 (the 44th day after last exposure). Here are the descriptions of my symptions: Day 1 ~ day 8: productive coughing, thick dark yellow mucus, runny nose, sore throat (No fever) Day 9: fever with 102.8F maximum.
Avatar m tn I have had a cough for 3-4 months and i have been coughing up flegm. For about a couple of weeks, i have been having pain in my ribs (right side) so i need to know if I need to get this checked out or it could be something serious and should go to the ER. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I'm 7 weeks and 3 days and I've had what feels like a stuffy nose, but I don'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 Hello, I am 32 years old male and have had a cough for a 2-3 years now. I don't know what started it, what changed to start it., or why it happens. I am tired of coughing all the time and am sure the people around me are tired of hearing it. I went to a doctor who tested me or allergies and said I am allergic to nothing. She did a chest xray which came back clear as well. I have constant sinus drainage and my cough usually gets me gasping for breath when I laugh...odd I know.
