Hello
You are 60 years old with DES after heart attack.
Now you are also having cough , with thick mucus for one month , these symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Bronchiectasis , diagnosis can be confirmed by sputum for culture and X ray chest .
2 Lung abscess .
3 Tuberculosis .
4 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis .Patient usually feels whistling sound with wheezing .
Thick mucus may be due to post nasal discharge . In my opinion consult a primary care physician and get his opinion.
Usually I advise my patient to take montelukast= bambuterol , one tablet one in a day ( in few case twice in a day) .
Codeine +chlorampheniramine maleate cough syrup.
Since these are prescription drugs , so please consult a physician and get it .Good luck.
