Hello,

As per your query, you have symptoms of chronic cough and heavy clear mucus which seems to be due to chest infection and due to chronic upper respiratory tract infection.

Need not to panic about it. I would suggest you to avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. You should take cough expectorants along with nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined.

You should get X-ray chest done along with pulmonary function tests to check level on infection and start treatment after proper prescription. You should also take antibiotic Amoxicillin in combination with anti-allergic medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
