Suggest Treatment For Wheezing Along With Persistent Cough

My doctor told me I had burnt my lungs from cleaning. She gave me some pills and a inhaler. I felt as if I was getting better but these past couple days I have gotten worse. I have been coughing like crazy wheezing bad and my Inhaler is not working like it use to and I find myself taking it at least every hour. Also when I cough my mucus that comes up sometimes taste like sulfur.

HI.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Read and noted that the inhaler is not now working as good as it was working,
cough has worsened in the past few days, you are coughing too much and wheezing badly.
The most probable reason for inhaler failure is too much of mucus not allowing it to work. This is as per the history also.
There looks to be an infection of the lungs as suggested by the sulfur taste.
I think a proper antibiotic, chest physiotherapy should help you to get a relief and an additional medicines as may be advised should be added to get a complete effect.
I find this answer helpful
