Suggest Medication For Phlegm In Right Lung And Cough
I feel like I have phlegm in my right lung, when I breathe I can feel it like I should be able to cough it up but nothing happens. It occurs most often when I m relaxing, sitting or laying down. It s been daily for about a month and occurs whether or not my stomach is full or empty. I m 16 years old, female. What might this be?

Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should get done chest x ray to rule out infection (pneumonia) in right lung.
As phlegm with hearing cracking sound is suggestive of sputum production in that part. And inyoung individual, it is mostly due to infection. So better to go for chest x ray. Even if your chest x ray is normal, I still advice you antibiotics (broad spectrum) and antihistamines and antiinflammatory.
