Productive cough
Hi, I'm a 26 years old that have a productive cough that won't go away
When it first started the doctor prescribed me antihistamines, after a month of those, I felt worse and another doctor prescribed decongestants, antibiotics and steroids. Those helped for a little, but once I finished the cure, the cough came back and another doctor gave me antihistamines and nasal spray which didn't help at all
I don't know what to do anymore. The attachment is a xray I did the 14th of November, when the cough started
If cough with sputum is the only symptom (without fever, blood in sputum, weight loss, loss of appetite) simply try salt water gargling thrice daily after food, especially before going to bed. If it does not go away within a week or two then further evaluation is needed.
