Chest and Lung related doubt
I'm having a problem for nearly around 5+ years. I will be having cough that releases mucus which I would spit out. That was rare previously and I thought that it might be due to air conditioning in my IT offices. Now I changed my profession to banking sector (Dec 2020) where there is no AC. Recently I'm having cough very frequently and regularly. I'm feeling something in my throat and I cough which releases mucus from my throat. I'm spitting that out and this cough happens minimum 5 to 8 times daily nowadays. Today I'm feeling a little pain over my left chest while breathing in and coughed out two times till now (clear mucus no blood). Wondering why this mucus is continuing and why it is staying there in throat always. Eventually I developed a behavior by trying to clearing my throat to test whether I have mucus in my throat. Please pour some suggestions and clear why this is happening. Thanks, Vijayalakshmi.

You need to be evaluated. For the current complaints of chest pain and cough with expectoration, take a CXR and do blood routine to rule out any infection.

Hiii Vijaylaxmi.
Continuous cough with sputum production is a worrisome sign, and indicates possible underlying infection, or some condition which predisposes to repeated infections. It needs thorough evaluation and management
Next Steps
Consult Pulmonologist for future evaluation, diagnosis and management
