A member asked:
I cough up little mucus daily for years. how do i stop it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mucus: I assume you don't smoke. Causes could be postnasal drip, GERD, laryngopharyngeal reflux,chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma. Discolored mucus signifies associated chronic infection of sinuses, bronchial tubes,lungs. I recommend an evaluation by a pulmonologist for diagnosis and treatment which would depend upon the cause. Appropriate tests will be ordered.
