Suggest Treatment For Cough And Mucus In Lungs

I have had a bad cough now for 2 months and a cough like there is mucus in my lungs. I have bad chest, back, and lungs pain when i breathe in and sometimes when i am just laying down. I have tasted almost a bloody taste in my mouth after jogging or physical exercise. I also wheeze pretty bad too and my breathing is irregular. Also i was born premature and have had lung problems my whole life.
