Too much PHLEM !

[charcoalbootsie291]

When you have bronchitis, can you get ALL the phlem out of your system? I'd hate to say how many cans of Fancy feast cat food I have filled & it is THICKER than molasses. I just want to stop coughing. I have now started blowing my nose getting stuff out. It wasn't like this over 2 months ago & I have a while until I go to my Dr. Can ANYONE HE----------------------LP ?

The ER doctor gave me antibiotics which I finshished a long time ago. I just came from my regular Dr. 3 days ago with him prescribing me a different one. Now I am to the point to where I am losing my appetite more & sleeping a lot. Could the sleeping have to do with rainy weather?

I THINK I nearly have all of the phlem out of my system but now I have a dry cough if not with phlem on top of everything else & I'm tired of going to the DR.

Well, the alternitive is not coughing and still having those secretions in your airway. Which could lead to other problems. So coughing is a good thing.  Try drinking more water, this is the easiest way to thin secretions.  Also try the guaifenesin(Mucinex), this is an expectorant and will think mucus also.  Your MD will probably give you some meds as well. Good luck
