What Causes Cough,loss Of Voice And Phlegm In Throat?
Hi can you please tell me what you think the following might be.. Well I have allergies.. pollen, ragweed, dust and mold.. also I have asthma. My question is .. what could be causing my coughing with losing my voice (like it cuts in and out) and then I feel that there is so much phlegm in the back of my throat that it seems like no amount of coughing will clear it out and Im having trouble breathing.. like Im breathing on the surface if that make any sense.. please help

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Allergies would cause post nasal drip which would cause coughing and hoarseness.
It would be best to reduce exposure to these allergens if possible. In addition the use of oral anti histamines and topical steroid nasal sprays would be helpful.
This includes sprays such as nasonex, nasocort, flonase, rhinocort
I hope this helps
