A member asked:
It feels like i have a plug of mucus in my lungs and it won't cough up, and is causing hoarseness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough: This is not unheard of, especially here in the pnw this year. Prolonged coughing and slow recovery can be normal this year. But, if you have not been to the doctor to see if you have pneumonia then it may be time. Otherwise good hydration and rest is key.
