What seems like weeks and weeks I have been coughing up phlegm several times a day. It all started back in October.
Me and my lass came back from a meal and I got a head cold. That subsided but I was left with coughing up mucus consistently throughout the day. Not just once or twice but literally constantly. I could not see my main GP as he was on holiday but I got to see some nurse of some kind. I had a sputum test done and was all clear. She sounded my chest - nothing. She said it was coming from the head so she gave me a mild course of antibiotics as she was reluctant to give it owing to it being bacterial and not viral. Other than that it was use salt water wash up by nasal passages. That worked for a bit but it returned. I went back for another test and again all clear. I’ve since tried Benylin, Sudafed, Benadryl (most on the “advice” of others) every one has failed. I am not doing it as often but I’m still doing it.
I’ve heard Tumeric is good for clearing mucus but I don’t know how to take it. I’ve tried in tablet form but that doesn’t work. I’ve tried multi vitamins but that doesn’t work either.
I don’t know what else to do.
