A member asked:
Been coughing phlegm for 4weeks wouldn't say i have bad chest pain but strain on neck/throat/chest when i cough. could it be a chest infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: if fevers/chills could be an infection. If no fever/chills and in no more sputum production likely strain from cough for 4weeks...question is why have you had cough for 4 weeks
