Relief From Dry Cough With Mucinex. Coughing Yellow Phelgm, Chest Burn, Hard To Breath. Worried?
I have been completely congested for a week. I had a dry, non productive cough until I took Mucinex. Now, I keep coughing up phlegm that is yellow and it burns in my chest and back when I cough. It also sometimes feels hard to breath. I have had no fever but have had chills. Should I be worried that it is more than a common cold?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having Allergic or viral bronchitis giving you this problem.
Due to coughing strain you get pain and burning.
If there is no improvement then go for one higher antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor as there is possibility of having mixed infection as well.
Take some broncho dilator syrup for easy breathing.
Ok and take care.
