I eat fried foods in the street, sea food at markets, and I drink a local bevarage called "pulque" that comes from an agave tree. Theirs quite a few things.

4) I have the fan constantly going and I notice some dust bunnies caught on it.
5) We had some wind the other day and dust, powder and other things outside was blowing in my fast.
6) The air I have in my apartment is humid.
7) My pillows are fleece and haven't been washed.

Your coughing and phlegm is more likely due to allergy to animals and surrounding environment.

(same symptoms when you change your environment)

Interestingly enough I DON'T FEEL breathless at all. It all started upon arriving here in Mexico. To tell You the truth, it might be more than just the seafood place. Having consumed fried foods in less developed areas, maybe where theirs rats I've been around. Also, a drink called pulque which is said to have amoebas.
Right now, my throat kind of hurts from such violent vomitting.
Take these drugs.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having allergic reaction to the new environment which gives you cough and phlegm.
Sea food of poor quality from less developed area caused you intestinal infection.
Here are your drugs.
1. Combination of ofloxacin (200mg) + ornidazole (500mg) twice daily after some food. (antibiotic for intestinal infection)
2. Combination of pantoprazole (40 mg) and domperidone (20mg) twice daily on empty stomach. For acidity and vomiting.
3. Combination of levocetrizine (5mg)and montelukast (10mg) once daily. For allergic cough.
4. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated. Take oral rehydration solution (ORS) 1iter per day.
5. Avoid outside food. Avoid stale food. Avoid oily and spicy food.
You will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days.
But if you still have diarrhea and vomiting even after 24 hours of these drugs then go to hospital.
Hope I have solved your query.
