Ok, let's start. Approximately 3 months ago, I contracted a viral illness. I also have seasonal allergies, and asthma. I am also a smoker of 10 years. I have tried everything OTC that I can get my hands on upon recommendation of friends, family, coworkers, etc. I take allergy medicine, cough medicine, inhalers, and GERD medicine. I do not have insurance, and am getting concerned with this cough of mine. I have been coughing approximately 3 months. My cough is productive and the phlegm is bright green. Sometimes (only 2 or 3 times so far) has blood in it. I have had minor chest pains recently, nothing that is constant, but comes and goes, gets worse when I breathe. It is very unnerving. I do not have insurance, and cannot get any more prescription medications, does anyone have any idea what OTC meds might help that I haven't tried? Or is this going to only get better by going to the Health Dept. (aka free clinic) and getting antibiotics? I really need help! Hope this was thorough enough for you. If not, feel free to ask any more questions and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge! Thanks again, Wendy
