I am coughing up phlem for the last few weeks. This is getting worse. A few weeks ago, I was treated for bronchitis. But I am still coughing up phlem. My doctor is on vacation, so, when I called my clinic, a nurse consulted with another doctor, who thinks this is a virus. A pharmacist recommended Rob itussin for Cough & Chest Congression. I have been taking the Walgreens version for the last 2 days, but it does seem to do any good.
