A member asked:
I cough up mucus after eating. it started whilst i was recovering from a flu but it has persisted for months now. is it serious and how is it treated?

Asthma: The most common cause of persistent cough after a flu is asthma. Even if you are not known to have asthma you could have what we call reactive airway disease, which is asthma that manifests after a cold. You should see your doctor.
