A member asked:

I have bronchitis. is it better for phlegm to be loose and me coughing or is it better for my chest to be dry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neither: While it seems more satisfying to have coughed something up I do not believe there is any benefit or prognostic info associated with a dry vs a moist cough. Too many other variables involved.
