Wheezing cough

2015-08-26 05:52:39
Hi.. I have had a wheezing persistent cough for around 1&1/2 years now with a dull pain in my chest and have consulted multiple doctors with diagnosis ranging from idiopathic asthma to post nasal drip and acid reflux. The cough has become fairly regular and now produces a bit of semi congealed sputum . Please help
