Severe cough and vomiting phlegm Posted: 01-10-08 03:37am
Hi everyone
I'm not sure if this is the correct place
to post this topic but here goes....My
boyfriend has a severe cough for the past
two years. It started off when he picked
up a cold and has got progessively worse
since.
Symptoms include:
Coughing severely - seems to be more
persistant in the morning time when he
gets out of bed, when he is eating a meal
and also when getting out of the shower -
maybe somthing to do with being cold.
Vomiting up phlegm - this is the most
serious and distressing symptom. When he
starts coughing badly, and especially in
the morning time, he always vomits up
phlegm (light yellow colour). He literally
vomits all of this up and its quite
distressing for him.
I hope someone can help with this as its
been happening for the last two years and
is starting to get him down alot. He has
been attending a chest specialist who has
prescribed him various medication but
nothing has worked. He lives a relatively
healthy lifestyle and does not smoke. The
specialist seems to think it might be
caused by mucus dripping from the back of
his nose and into his chest but so far as
I said, none of the treatments have worked
for him.
any help would be very much appreciated

Acid Reflux ??? Posted: 03-03-08 19:09pm
It could be that he is not acutally
vomiting up phlegm but acid. My little
brother had this same problem.
Does he have any of these symptoms?
(Acid laryngitis. A condition that
includes hoarseness, dry cough, the
sensation of having a lump in the throat,
and the need to repeatedly clear the
throat. Trouble swallowing (dysphagia). In
severe cases, patients may even choke or
food may become trapped in the esophagus,
causing severe chest pain. This may
indicate a temporary spasm that narrows
the tube, or it could also be an
indication of serious esophageal damage or
abnormalities. Chronic sore throat.
Persistent hiccups.
Pain and discomfort in the upper abdomen.
Fullness in the stomach. Nausea after
eating.Heartburn.After a heavy meal.
Bending over. Lifting. Lying down,
particularly)

Not sure what test he has taken for Acid
Reflux, Gerd, etc. I hate to tell you
this but I've had a cough now for 5+ year.
Tell your boyfriend to manage his health,
otherwords start collecting his medical
records and prescription just incase.
I've taken every test known to man, in 5+
years you know I have. No one doctor could
cure it. I cough when I get up until I
sleep. The moment I lay down it stops.
Try Allerx (regular)
Ask doctor to get samples and try it. It
worked for me, but of course I am immune
to it now. 99% of the doctors didn't know
what it was nor "Ah-Chew" which worked but
now no longer avail-I heard financial
problems. But Ah-Chew worked. But Now
try Allerx and see what happens. I
noticed it immediately.
