Hi and welcome do you know what stage you are.
when I get flu I find it difficult to lie in bed I find sitting up a lot better. Try and see you gp ask him to refer you to a PR course they helped me loads.
Hi! Fred2020, I am new, just today...my name is Meg. I have mild emphysematous changes.... I am always sneezing and blowing my nose....no cough, never have a cough...I can't take steriods...I've always had weird allergic reactions to them...Have you tried saline up your nose...or a netti pot...even if you are coughing alot...it might help...I have a friend who had a problem like yours....he's allergic to dairy products....his favorite food....cheese..so hope you figure out what's causing your problem.

Welcome Fred, to our forum. I hope you come back & chat to us often.
Maybe have a chat to your GP or respiratory nurse about your symptoms. I presume from you saying you had abs & steroids that you're recovering from an infection. It could be it's not cleared up properly.
Take care & hope you get answers to your problem 🌼
I should see the GP. Maybe he could prescribe to thin the mucus, carbocisteine perhaps. It worked for me.
Thank you for your replies they are very helpful
Good advice above Fred - sorry I have nothing to add - just want to say hello and welcome.
