Hi, I ve had a chesty cough for about 4 days now and its getting progressively worse. I have asthma and had bronchitis a few years ago. Whenever I cough I get an ammonia-type taste and im unsure whether its just a common cold or if its a lot more than that

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cough and cold inspite of bronchitis which seems to be due to left over upper respiratory tract infection and poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. You should visit pulmonologist once and get yourself examined and start treatment after thorough examination. You should get X-ray chest examination done. Take proper course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin along with antiinflammatory medication. You should take cough expectorants. Do warm saline gargles. Avoid taking cold beverages and avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
