I am asthmatic, and have severe allergies. I have had this of an on bout with excess mucus that causes me to cough so bad I gag. It is a sporadic thing too. I am filling cups with it. I got a chest xray and lungs were clear. I have gone to er and doc and they said it is probably an ENT thing. I hope so because it is so irritating.
Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:1. Chest X-ray is usually clear in asthma, and it is a good sign for you.2. I would agree with your doctor as common cause of excessive phlegm in allergy patients is sinusitis, which is an ENT thing.3. Of course, sinusitis requires patience while treatment. I usually suggest my such patients regular intranasal corticosteroids for 2-3 weeks, regular montelukast and regular steam inhalation.4. I also suggest my such patients plenty of warm fluids during day, a healthy diet and avoidance of dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.5. Personally, I would also suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify your allergies and the measures to avoid them. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.
