A member asked:

Coughing that comes and goes. feels like phlegm in throat but no sputum. mild heavy feeling in chest. back pain. xray came back clean. what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bronchitis: Pharyngitis/bronchitis can cause cough is often due to bronchitis/airway hyperreactivity and can be treated with inhaled steroids/antibiotics and stepwise asthma treatment. Evalution could start with breathing function tests, xrays (chest/sinuses), cultures of throat/sinus/sputum. Xray show pneumonia and was negative but bronchitis does not often show up. Lung/throat specialist/ent could help you.
