A member asked:

I keep coughing and spitting up mucus for like two months what is it?

Dr. Romanth Waghmarae answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Cough and mucus: Persistent coughing with mucus for 2 months is not good. This usually implies something in the lungs - you should see a pulmonologist.
