Suggest Remedy For Cough With Green Mucus

I have had a severe cough for a little over a week. No other symptoms. It is typically a dry cough. Sometimes a deeper cough. Sometimes when I have a coughing fit I feel deep pressure in my chest/lungs, as if I cannot breath, and sometimes when this is happening I get a sharp prickly sensation in my lungs. Sometimes the deep cough will result in some yellow/green mucus. Curious if I might have bronchitis.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM..

Noted your main complaint is cough.
Here yes it seems to be bronchitis...
But if fever present it might be interstitial pneumonia like case.....

So your auscultation done for respi examination .....
Do following investigation for further work up....

Pulmonary function test ...

You can get your sputum examination if it comes in morning....

It is advisable to take antibiotic for 5 days...

You can keep this in mind and consult doc.
