Hello i am a 22 year old female i have a really bad cough that wont seem to go away, i have been coughing up mucus that seems to be white at times then watery and clear the next at times i will cough to the point i throw up, i have lost sleep due to cough spells as well i had this issue about two years ago and had xrays done on my lungs and the doctors said everything seemed to be clear, but lately i find it hard to breathe if i try to get a good draw of air i end up coughing or wheezing.
Hi. I can understand your concern.  Chronic cough is commonly seen in bronchitis and lung infection. Since your chest x-ray is normal, no need to worry about lung infection. Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
