Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing these symptoms. It sounds like you may have a respiratory infection or inflammation in your airways. The worm-like phlegm are coughing up may be a sign of an infection, such as bronchitis or pneumonia.
The burning sensation in your chest may be due to inflammation in your airways or acid reflux. Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and a burning sensation in the chest.
I would recommend that you schedule a video call with me as soon as possible to determine the cause of your symptoms. I may advise tests, such as a chest X-ray or blood tests, to help diagnose the underlying condition.
In the meantime, you can try some home remedies to help alleviate your symptoms. Drinking plenty of fluids, using a humidifier, and avoiding irritants such as smoke and pollution can help soothe your airways. Over-the-counter cough suppressants and pain relievers may also help relieve your symptoms.
It is important to seek medical attention if your symptoms persist or worsen. I can provide you with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan to help you feel better.
