How Can Cough And Chest Congestion Be Treated?
What can I do to relieve a cough and congestion that won t go away. I ve had this for 9 days now and it s also a rattling breathe. When I do start coughing I can t stop until I m out of breath or vomiting. When I do cough there is little to no mucus that comes up but it feels like there is so much there. I have no insurance but I ve had to miss work because I just don t know what else to do. Please help me, thank you!

Hello,
It could be an early sign of pneumonia. Consult a physician and get evaluated. Probably antibiotics will improve the condition. A chest X-ray is required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
