What Medicine Can I Take For Severe Cough With Mucus?

I have had a cough for a few days now, and i was coughing up white stringy mucus that had a lot of air bubbles in it. Now that mucus is coming up with a pink tint and I have a sore throat from the cough. It mainly hurts on the right side of my throat when I swallow.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe cough with mucus which seems to be due to chest infection/ chronic upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to take cough expectorants and do warm saline gargles. You should take steam inhalation on daily basis. You should take antibiotic Amoxicillin in combination with antiallergic medication Sinarest. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get X-ray chest and throat swab test done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
