Hello
According to you , you are having bronchitis and took , two courses of antibiotics within a period of 6 weeks .
Still you are having THICK mucus , excessive thirst and feeling sickness, all these symptoms may be due to these reasons , these include.
1 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis , as you stated that , you feel thick mucus in throat . This is a characteristic feature of asthmatic allergic bronchitis that patient feel post nasal type discharge in throat.
2 Throat infection ( either pharyngitis or tonsillitis ) , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by an ENT .
3 Bronchiectais , may be responsible for such symptoms.
In my opinion consult a PULMONOLOGIST and get his opinion because almost 6 weeks passed for these symptoms.
Good luck.
