Chest infection

Really interested to read this post. Since about January I have had a bit of a cough which worsens at night in bed. Like you it seems to be mucus which I just cannot get up. I waited a few months before seeing my GP. They referred me for XRays and gave me a nasal spray which has done no good. Said I didn’t need antibiotics.

The xrays were clear so I carried on as before but saw a pharmacist at the end of May who gave me a Chesty Cough Expectorant. Still no better.

I don’t feel ill as such but feel like I want a really good cough to clear this stuff!

steam therapy is usually quite successful at clearing airways but you must see a GP

Lots of bronchitis and long lasting colds around at the moment.

I'm suffering and have taken antibiotics because I have an infection. This is the first time in 5 years and I used to get it about twice a year. I realised that it's probably because I had stopped taking Vitamin D3 a two or three months ago. I started taking Vit D after a recommendation and, if and when I felt a cold coming on it just disappeared.

If you have lots of mucus try cutting down on dairy products for a while. Also, the old fashioned method of inhaling steam with a towel over your head and menthol in the water.

It's not good to keep trying to clear mucus by lots of coughing. The action can make you vomit.
