Sick 1x a month. cough, cold, yellow phlegm. daily probiotics, vitamin c 2000 mg, exercise 2x a wk, sleep, eat well. hyperthyroidism now normal. help.

Time to see the doc: You are doing so much right! But a month-long productive cough suggests to me it is time to have a doctor listen to your lungs, check your sinuses, perhaps analyze the phlegm. Hang in there.

Mgt: I would suggest seeing your PCP. They can order a sputum culture, mycoplasma titer and antibiotics as indicated. A chest radiograph may be ordered if there are abnormal breath sounds.
