Had a cold for 3 weeks. Went away. 2 weeks later came back. Doctor treated me with 5 day Z Pak (250 mg) & a corticosteroid pill (4 mg). Still sick. Bad cough. Cough up white foamy stuff. Using Mucinex & Robitussin. Lots of clear discharge from nose. Wheezing.

Hello
Persistent cough with foamy stuff for 3 weeks may be due to allergy and wheezing is due to bronchoconstriction .
So when such type of patient visit my clinic I advise them to take some anti allergic + bronchodilator combination for prompt relief .
I advise to take montelukast+bambuterole once in the night .
Usually patient get relief within 2-3 days .
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide relief.
Since this is a prescription drug , so consult your doctor .
If no relief within 3-5 day get in X ray chest and consult a Chest specialist .
Good luck.
