A member asked:

Deep cough burning in lungs. producing some phlegm ? doesn't burn all the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bronchitis: Sounds like bronchitis. You should quit smoking. Also, you will need a physical exam to make sure there is nothing else going on. Your doc then should discuss potential treatment options for you.
