Coughing with Phlegm for long time
Hey doctor
I am 24 years old
I have been suffering from a cough with phlegm for more than a month and have not paid attention to the cough and since two weeks the symptoms have increased, I have become coughing severely with vomiting and shortness of breath and when I breathe I hear a whistling in the chest, a strange sound. With the mention that I smoked and only smoked two cigarettes two days and two weeks ago Or more, you quit completely when smoking.
So I went to a clinic and got an x-ray and the doctor told me there are no problems like asthma. There was only some chest infection and she gave me some medicine and it got better.
But the symptoms are still present, such as coughing with phlegm.
Please, Doctor, please tell me what to do or what medicines you would recommend for me to buy.
