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
