Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough With Mucus Discharge?
Question: Hi i keep caughing up ear bubble mucus? Why? & what can i do to get rid of it, it sometimes males me gag too
Brief Answer:
Mucolytic medicine plus warm salt water gargles
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You seem to have cough with mucus in it. This may be due to allergic, cold or infection.
To prevent the pathogens entering the pharynx the mucus is secreted by the defense in the body.
You can do warm water with salt gargles three times a day or before each meal. This clears up the mucus and would not interfere with your food intake.
Avoid cold stuff and anything stored in the refrigerator. have freshly prepared meal.
We often prescribe Mucolytics with Ambroxol / Guaifenesin to dilute the mucus secretions. You may want to try over the counter medicines with one of these names. Your pharmacist would definitely know it.
