A member asked:
Had the flu 14 days ago, went to the lung dr. had a lung x-ray, dr. said my lungs look healthy, but i still cough allot of mucus (ps: have sinusitis).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinusitis: Upper respiratory infections, including sinusitis, may produce large amounts of inflammatory secretions resulting in sputum production and post-nasal drip. Try using saline rinses with a neti-pot, steroid nasal spray and a decongestant (pseudoephedrine, oxymetozaline, etc.). Check with your pharmacist for otc products. They will be happy to help. Good luck.
