why upper back skin lesion with awful cough?

by edna470, Dec 22, 2008 08:43PM
As a child I had whooping cough, as a 10-yr old a sore on the side of my septum, now a recurring cough that seems to go through my whole organism.  It ends with a little whoop, or gag and is extremely productive.  In the morning and evenings, green and toward the end of the bi-annual event a small hard coil of mucous, yellowish is included in morning presentations.  This business is running my life I haven't worked since Nov. beginning because I work with children.  I have high cholesterol, small red dots in my skin and now lesions that last as long as this cough ( two months and counting this time). They are small and deep with crusts. Since this began in November there's been one on my upper back. I have fevers intermittently throughout the day, after every drink of any temp. fluid, and during the night.  My throat hurts and I often have difficulty swallowing, even without the cough.  So much phlegm I could have filled a bathtub.  What treatment should I seek? Is this a fungus?  A bacteria? Are my kidneys okay? HELP


This discussion is related to chronic cough with green phlegm.
