Suggest Treatment For Cough With Mucus And Breathlessness

Hi I've had a dry tickly cough for several weeks. It's worse at night and I'm bringing up lots of clear mucus with occasional white flecks in. It's now got worse and mucus is green and I feel quite ill. However, it's not chesty but I feel breathless, listless and achy.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation, You seems to suffer from-Loeffler's Syndrome / tropical pulmonary eosinophilia with secondary infection with green mucus.
Other causes like-GERD with acid reflux causing dry cough, IBS with Diarrhoea,with accompanied Candidial infection, need to be ruled out before planning further treatment.
Breathlessness with green mucus-needs to be treated with antibiotics, brohchodilators,with plenty of fluids, with enough hydration.
Treatment with Itraconazole / flucanozole-for treating Candida bronchial infection with white flakes in sputum, would resolve cough with mucus / breathlessness.

Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.
