What Could Be Wrong If Having Constant Cough With Clear And Thick Phlegm?
Yes, I have been coughing for about 3-4 months now, and when I cough I have been coughing up phlegm. On Sunday afternoon, it was worse than it ever has been. I had to run to the bathroom and it kept coming up -clear and thick- my coughing sounded like a seal. What do you think is wrong with me?

Hello,
As per the description, long standing productive cough indicates underlying lower respiratory tract in form of pneumonia or else. We recommend x-ray chest for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
