I have been coughing up yellow/green mucus on a daily basis since last August. Been on several antibiotics none have worked. Hard time breathing when lying down. Had x-ray of sinuses and they are fine. In February had a chest ct showed left pericarnal lymph node swelling but no lympopathy. Node was 1.6 cm. It has since gotten larger and others are now appear to be swollen including right neck lymph node. Swelling in the crevice of neck right and left side, head swelling. Headaches daily and constantly not relieved by Advil. Pain level headaches no less than a five and on bad days 10+. Headaches worse when lying down or putting any kind of pressure/touching ie lying against a pillow or back of couch. when I do not sure if blacking out or having seizures. Just all of a sudden I was in one position and end up in another and not knowing what happened. When head acts up voice is strained speech is slurred, cannot complete sentences and at a loss for words for even common objects. Vision has changed 4 times in the past 3 months specially night vision and when I try to read for too long words move and become curved some missing. I have lisch nodules in right eye.

The clinical narration so far available present a confirmed profile of wide spread manifestations of Neurofibromatosis type I and pericarinal enlarging lymphnode could be co morbid marker of chronic bronchiectasis associated with medistinal NF causing compression at multiple levels with concomitant Lymphnode involvement bilateral cervical areas.
Beside confirming the diagnosis with bronchoscopy and antibiogram serially done and sensitivty considerations a choice antiboitic cover aided by vigorous chest physio and postural drainage should provide succur in your case also
