You clearly have bronchitis. Pneumonia may also be developing, but it is too soon for your symptoms to be severe. This is called
I have very similar symptoms. I got a bug three weeks ago that lasted for 3 days - sore throat, stuffy, cough and I slept for an unbelieveable amount of time over those 3 days. I started to get a cough a few days later. It got worse and worse. My chest hurts - in a kind of achey, heavy way. The mucus ranges from yellow to green/grey to brown, and sometimes is a spotty combination with a pink tint. The taste is horrible and sometimes I think it tastes like blood. I quit smoking after my three day flu, but was not a heavy smoker before that. I would go a few days without, have several, go a few days again. It was more a social thing. I did use to smoke more regularly, but it has been a few years since I did it daily.
I went to the doctor for the cough and was prescribed Tussi 12 and Advair. I have used them both for more than a week and have seen a reduction from all day coughing to coughing here and there, mostly in the morning and if I try to exercise. The problem is the plegm is still as thick, discolored and nasty tasting as ever. I think it might even be getting darker. I have noticed a reduction in my energy level, but am not running a fever at all.
It is really scaring me. I feel like I can't breathe as deep as I used to. I hope someone responds to this.
sounds like a sinus infection......at night all that mucous drips down the back of your throat causing the cough also...the color and odor probably needs to be treated with antibiotics since it has lasted so long good luck
