Suggest Remedy For Cough With Loose Phlegm
hi my son is 17 and usually a fit healthy boy - he has had a bubbly cough for 2 1/2 months - 2 courses of antibiotics - laterly a double dose of eurithramycin as he was quite unwell - his course is now finished and he still sounds a bit breathless and when he coughs the phlegm is loose but he cant cough it up easily - when he does cough it up its still green - I am worried the infection is still brewing - can you help?

Hi...I understand your concern. By what you quote I feel that your son might be having persistent bacterial bronchitis or the other possibility is that it might be an evolving bronchiectasis. I suggest you get back to your pediatrician with these tips and get him evaluated.
