Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and noted your history of congestion in lungs and nose and your taking mucinex dm
Now you have burning in the lungs. This indicates possibly increase in allergy or may be an infection causing so much inflammation that you are getting such a sensation.
I think you need to have clinical evaluation, physical examination and investigations so as to get the proper diagnosis and treatment, since you have to go for Europe.
you should be fit to travel .
