I have a chest pain, also it's not a cough but i constantly have to spit out white bubbly sputum. I have had this problem for 4 months. At first I thought it was an allergy, and i took allergy medicines, and later it wasn't improving, so i went to a doctor. Because i felt like something was stuck in my throat or i felt like a fluid was inside my lungs. I went to a doctor and he told me nothing as wrong it could probably the stomache problem or im very sensitive. I got the following symptom after i got drunk and slept in a cold night with a fan on, I had a cold at the time and it wasn't very bad, but after smoking constantly i spat blood out there's about 3 months ago and after that i didn't spit anymore.
The phlegm is very white and sometimes it's thick and it doesn't feel like it's coming out of anywhere but in the lung.
I think there's a fluid in my lung and i just keep have to spit out. i took antibiotic, expectorant, allergy medicines and I did try anything. sometimes when i wake up there's a pain in my lung but other than that, i think it's not bronchitis or any serious illness (lung cancer). the doctor told me it could be related to my stomache (acid reflux) or maybe i'm too senstiive, but i wonder if ti's related to my smoking after getting cold that it aggravated the illness and may have contributed it to be chronic? that i have to live with this forever?
it's really embarassing because i have always have to spit it out or swallow it back and it gets worse after smoke, the sputum just comes out and i have to keep swallow or spit it out and it stays like 2 hours until it subsides.
i already took the antibiotic that was given to me directly by the doctor that was 5 day's worth of medicine and other than that i had really strong azithromycin for 5 days at the pharmacy but it persists and i don't think it's contagious nor it's related to infection. maybe after smoking(constantly)could be the problem?
oh, before that i had hard tim
