hi
i am 30, male. also i am smoker and an alcohol consumer.
i smoke about 12-15 cigarettes a day
drinking is at max 3 times a week and sometimes very heavy (around 9-10 pegs).
i even smoke pot (almost daily) at night after dinner.
also i have a serious dust allergy in which i am advised to use inhalers on SOS basis. (Asthalin based inhalers available locally under Ranbaxy brand names of Budeocort and Serflo)
from the past 15 days i am having bouts of cough (generally right after the first smoke i have 15-20 mins after dinner) that make me breathless and red in the face. this happens for about 15-20 mins and generally during night. the only way i can rid myself of this is by inducing a vomit and the vomit is full of phlegm. everything returns to normal after that. Phlegm is colorless (white and bubbly) but ample in quantity (almost 70-80 ml though i have never measured it). i feel very normal after that with a little bit of coughing throughout the night. during the day i will cough only once or twice during the day without any phlegm.
i visited a GP and he advised me Erythromysin 500 for 5 days and a cough syrup (brycarex A) containing Guaifenesin
and Terbutaline Sulfate. I spoke with him today and he further advised me a course of Acebrophylline (brand name Ab Phyllini) along with same cough syrup.
It is also mentionable that i am having a serious loss of appetite from the past 3 days.
pls advise
