Suggest Remedy For Persistent Cough With Mucus

My husband has persistant cough and gets up mucus. He is frequently tired. Recently had colon cancer surgery and is now cancer free. He drinks a bottle of wine per night and falls a lot more lately. He says he has balance problems. His legs and feet have been swollen,but the compression socks seem to help this. How can I help him????

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your husband have symptoms of persistent cough with mucus which is due to chronic lung infection or bronchitis. It is due to poor immunity of body after surgery as well.

Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to

- Give inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug.

- Avoid usage of alcohol.

- Avoid cold beverages and sharp spicy food.

- Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity.

- Take cough expectorants as well.

You should visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests and x-ray chest as well to check exact level of infection.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
