Persistent cough with sputum
My father is 50 years old. He has been suffering from cough since years now. It has become permanent, sometimes gets reduced with few wet cough syrups but then again erupts. He has wet cough with sputum varying from thick to transparent with no other major symptom. He smokes 'bidi'. I am third year medical student myself, looking for genuine guidance and treatment from a good doctor in Noida. We would like to treat the cause instead of only symptoms. We have never got his Xray chest done pr sputum tests done.
Please pour in suggestions.
Thankyou
Regards,
Sonia Singh
