Hi I'm not even sure how to ask this but here goes. I have had a bad sore throat and productive cough for 6-7 days now. Saw my doc, I'm on antibiotics cough medicine with codeine and a steroid pack. My worry is that when I exhale it sounds like my grandmothers old perking coffee pot. It's so bad that I have to wear ear phones playing music loadly so I can hear it, it's bad enough that it wakes me. Is there something different I should be doing?
