About 3 days ago developed a rattle/wheeze in my left lung along with sore, scratchy throat from sinus drainage the back of my throat. The weird thing is I have no other classic sinus symptoms - no front draining, no sinus pressure, no fever, no earache. Usually this kind of chest stuff doesn t happen unless I m several weeks into a sever sinus infection. Went to a doctor 2 days ago and they said they can t hear anything in my chest and my throat is clear and I had no fever. But 3 days later and chest congestion and sore throat getting worse. Drainage getting worse, too. I am taking Mucinex-D and a Z-pack and cough drops. What else can I take to suppress the cough and get the mucus to loosen up and come out the front of my nose? My chest and throat hurt from all the coughing! Left lung sounds like air escaping a balloon with a hole in at the end of exhale and when I lay on my left side makes slight gurgling sounds, too. Also want to know if I can take Z-Pack and Mucinex-D at the same time and also maybe want to take Robitussin D for cough.
