Suggest Treatment For Cough And Mucus In Chest

I went to the dentist and he noticed a nodule behind my right ear. He insisted that I get tested for TB. I did not think anything of it until I spent New years in the hospital with asthma like symptoms. I have asthma but it's never been bad. What I have now are these bouts of coughing and when they occure my chest fills with mucus. This bout went on for a while and then I go back to normal. Before that it was at the end of the summer. Each time it's a little worse and a little harder to breath. Let me know if you need more info.
