Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having chronic cough (cough for more than 2 weeks) and phlegm (sputum). Common causes for these are lung infection and bronchitis. Since your chest x-ray is normal, no need to worry about lung infection. So we should rule out bronchitis in your case. So Consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
