Hi folks, anyone got symptoms of coughing for more than a month since New Year?
I've been minor coughing for like 1.5 months+ now.
Normally is just coughing out yellow colour phlegm in the afternoon, then the rest of the day will become normal.
Breathing so far ok, with some days are bad.
No sore throat throughout the period.

Been jabbed for Flu Vaccine for 2023 around July last year.

Previous Doctor claims might be caused by Lung Inflamation from the dusts in the environment I stayed... that I attempt to clean up.
Or aircond usage coughing lungs to become too dry? Dust mites.

I've been drinking various brands of Cough Medicines + Phlegm Remover as well.
From clinic's prescription's black cough syrup, to "Uphadyl + Expectorant" to Dextrophan, FluiFort Syrup (Carbocysteine Lysine Salt 9%), Holistica Coflix, Mucoway/Muconac N-acetylcysteine 600mg

Thinking whether I need to go see a Lung specialist in the KL region for further follow up for my mysterious case.

=====================
UPDATE = 28-Feb
I went back to my usual Private Clinic today and instead of Klinik Kesihatan/gov route, Private Clinic GP told me to go to BP for Chest X-Ray (RM 50 for X-Ray). I came back to him with CXR, he said Lungs is ok, no signs of white patches/dots in lungs or pneunomia accumulation at bottom of lungs.

He told me if complete medication, still not helping need to do see specialist

Claiming is just Lung Inflammation Might be due to drinking cold drinks or sleep under direct air cond
He also saying might possible of Long COVID, if I kena COVID recently, which might lead to long term coughing...

Doctor just prescribed :

- 100 ml ZECUF HERBAL COUGH REMEDY
- 10 tablets of Sunward Mucoclear (Ambroxol HCl 30 mg) - Phelgm removal
- 10 tablets of Sunward Deltasolone (Prednisolone 5mg) - antihistamine / reduce swelling ?

============================
UPDATE = 3-March

After completing the medication.
Feeling much better now.

I still get the usual dry coughs once or twice in the morning/afternoon, but good news not much phlegm!

Order Tiger Milk Mushroom Supplements on Lazada/Shopee. Let's see whether this can improve my immunity.

You mean Postnasal drip ?

Postnasal drip is the accumulation of mucus in the back of the throat, which can cause a feeling of congestion, a sore throat, or a cough.

Well no idea if this the reason, I didn't really sneeze that often also.

I think I can just buy Vicks VapoRub for that. Didn't use a long time.

Government Clinic and Hospital?

It's more like difficulty in breathing due to build up of mucus in the lungs.
Especially during hot and humid afternoons.

Mine stopped after awhile, after this post. Apparently one zap with Chest X-Ray, then my lungs became clear. I thought have long covid or what.

I go pharmacy go get pharmacy get Mucosolvan (contains 30mg of Ambroxol hydrochloride), then the phelgm become watery.
