Chesty Cough, Thick Mucus, Loss Of Appetite. Cure For Symptoms?
Hi,
I have a chesty cough and it actually hurts coughing. I am gagging sometimes when I cough and sometimes I am sick and its phelgmy. A lot of phelgm also comes up when I cough. I have a decreased appetite and when I actually eat I am sick straight afterwards. The sick is bubbly and has lots of thick mucus/saliva in it. It's really worrying me

Sounds like a bronchitis. If you haven't had any antibiotics for this then that's what you will need. You can also drink plenty of water per day to help thin out the mucus. If you have a fever this would indicate a more serious type of infection. In any case...you will need to see a medical professional to get antibiotics...and at that time they can listen to your lungs/chest with their stethoscope to see what they hear.
