I have been coughing a lot for the past 2
months and when I cough, I cough up some
thick white phelm that looks sort of like
mozarella cheese (not to sound disgusting)
but it bothers me to think that there
might be something wrong with me! At times
my chest hurts and when all i do is cough
by the next day my whole front hurts! Any
idea what this may be??

Have you gotten an x-ray taken? Generally
the first step is to diagnose a condition.
Then you can learn about its treatment.
Might be bronchitis. Could be a
respiratory infection. Maybe related to
the lungs....but you'll never know until
you visit a doctor. Can you do that?

Well I have an appointment on the 31st but
I thought someone out there might have
gone thru the same thing and can give me a
heads up! I dont like hospital or doctors,
they scare me and I didnt want to get bad
news or anything like that. but yeah I am
going the end of this months to my
doctor!!!

Could be an asthmatic condition but more
likely an infection. Have you not had any
antibiotics? Do you feel generally ill?
Don't worry about the x-ray - it is the
simplest thing and they will be unlikely
to give you any results - good or bad - on
the day. Just get the thing done as a
lingering chest infection can become more
serious than it need.

The
thing is that It comes and goes. I am fine
for about 2 weeks than for a week Im
coughing up this stuff, than it will go
away for 2 weeks and than comes back! I do
kind of feel short of breath but nothing
that scares me, just that its annoying
when Im sleeping and all I do is cough and
cough and cough! But I will let you know
what happen after my appointment! thank
you all for your reply!

After reading your last post, I am
sticking firmly with asthma! You will
probably get inhalers to relieve the
coughing and will feel fine afterwards.
