Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail and understand your concern.
You seem to be suffering from any of the following either Bronchitis or a Lower respiratory tract infection.
The yellow expectoration signifies infection. This might require antibiotics.
The uneasy feeling and tingling in throat is due to allergic post nasal drip.
This usually responds to anti-allergic treatment.
You should get a Hemogram with ESR and Chest- Xray done.
If the Chest Xray and these blood investigations show no sign of infection then, you would be treated for Allergic Bronchitis.
Treatment is done with anti allergic drug like Levocetrzine and Montelukast.
Your doctor will evaluate you for any wheezes in your chest, if wheezing is there you need to get nebulization with salbutamol.
Oral drugs like Deriphylline and Doxophylline are also useful.
Share my opinion with your doctor and get chest x-ray done and blood investigations done.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
