A member asked:

Been coughing for over a month started out dry cough now a yellowish mucus wetcough seen drs, 2 chest x-rays all clearon antibiotics/ nasal mist. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bronchitis: Persistent bronchitis is likely as no pneumonia was seen on both chest xrays. Sinusitis is a possibility if there is associated postnasal discharge. If sputum is discolored and copious, a culture and sensitivity is indicated to determine what antibiotic is appropriate. You could consult a pulmonologist if symptoms don't clear.
