Good morning Debs, and a warm welcome from me to HU Site. You are a very beautiful 56 year old, sorry you are feeling rough. I looked up tracitous and the nearest I got was :- Bacterial tracheitis is a bacterial infection of the trachea and is capable of producing airway obstruction. One of the most common causes is Staphylococcus aureus and often follows a recent viral upper respiratory infection. Bacterial tracheitis is a rare complication of influenza infection.

It's horrible having to bring up phlegm of any colour, but better out than in I say. Has your doctor put you on antibiotics? Hope fully someone who understands it will be along very soon to help and advise you. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on?

That's ok Debs. Sometimes you have to persist. Ask your doctor for a proper explanation. There should be something that can be done so you are not in such pain and discomfort.

Helo shadow4me,

If this is it, it really is just a nasty horrible virus that enjoyed lingering, but if you are susceptible to throat or chest infections you really are in the front line. I hope your doctor can help you.
