How To Treat Chronic Cough With Yellow Mucus Along With Shoulder Pain?

I have coughing problems with almost three months now. It comes with yellow mucus, very irritating when meeting with lots of people.
I have shoulder pain for almost two weeks now.
I took panadol (Back pain relief panadol) and coughing and pain just go and always come back.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT ( pulmonary function test ).
You are having chronic cough with expectorant. This is seen in lung infection and bronchitis.
So get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
