When i cough i feel it all over my chest and back and the right side of my head. i have a constant flow of phlegm. i think it must be a virus..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral bronchitis: I'm really sorry that you are having this difficulty. At the age of 70 with a severe cough and a lot of phlegm it is best that you see it physician. In the meantime drink plenty of liquids and take your ibuprofen and a cough suppressant. You are correct it's probably a virus but pneumonia after the age of 50 is a very dangerous situation.
