Bronchitis
I have bronchitis and yesterday was coughing up think bands of mucus that looked like spagetti. They were the shape of my bronchial tunes aND the longest was about and inch and a half. Today my cough returned to non-productive but stiL constant. I also have a popping sound in bottom of my throat when I lay on my back and left side not my right side. Should I be worried these mucus bands went away and the cough is back to nonproductive?
