Suggest Treatment For Persisting Chest Infection
I have had a chest infection for about 3 weeks, had 2 lots of different anti biotics, an x ray which was clear and now I am losing my voice but I do not have much pain in my throat, only when I am coughing. I am also coughing up white phlegm which alternates in colour from green to yellow and white again. Please help
