Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Continuous cough with phlegm is more suggestive of bronchitis (inflammation of airways).
So best treatment would be inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral N acetyl cystine (NAC) is also a good mucolytic drug for bronchitis.
I am not sure whether these are available over the counter (OTC) in Canada.
Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
