A member asked:
I believe i have a uri- burning chest when coughing, thick green sticky mucus, coughing. i have been taking guaifenesin, using saline nasal rinse. what else is recommended to help symptoms at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coughing of " thick green sticky mucus" is more indicative of Bacterial/other Infections instead of simple Viral URI. Best to see PCP or Urgent Care Clinic for Proper Diagnosis and Antibiotic treatment. The sooner, the better.
