I wish I had some good advice to give. I have exactly the same problem and I’ve also had Ct scans and sputum cultures. It’s so revolting isn’t it. I hate it.
I think if you have been put forward for biological - there’s a chance that will help.
bialogics are apparently very good, but have you got an anxiety cough as well, I get a lot of mucus and constant coughing in anxiety situations. Back too school, cough too much to go to functions sounds like something else to consider. If your chest is clear of infections then a cough can be an allergic reaction or anxiety.
Hi, unlike you I have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis, but I have a similar antisocial problem with constant phlegm production. It was a like a tap that turned on post covid and never turned off. In my case it’s very viscous and difficult to shift. I feel like I have a dead slug in the back in the back of my throat all the time and I’ve been advised to ‘learn to live with it’.
I believe other people with asthma on this forum have been given biological injections and say they are very helpful. If you ever get any treatment which alleviates the phlegm problem, I’d love to hear from you again.
Hi Crimson I also have thick horrid phlegm, it gets me down as I can’t go holidays due to my morning regime of saline nebulising and then AerobiKa clearing which is disgusting. I have bronchiectas as well as pseudomonas, it really gets me down.
Take a look at aluk website - lung clearance( active cycle of breathing technique).it teaches u how to empty lungs perhaps morn+ evening, to give u a bit of control back.u cld go to loo × do quick session lunchtime/break.ru on a steroid inhaler to reduce inflammation
Don't forget, you are very welcome to call our Clinical Team who can give you advice on managing your mucus, and also answer questions you may have about biologic treatment
You need to get rid of that mucus- it's a breeding place for nasties. I found my AeroBika helps no end. Eventually the mucus will stop, but it seems to go on for ever. You really need to go back to the doctors and ask for a sputum test. Would you school be understanding and let you leave the class when you need to cough? The AsthmaLung helpline is very good -knowledgeable and reassuring.
Hi, I have Bronchiectasis, recurring Aspergillosis and Asthma as well as other non lung conditions and struggle to clear mucus so understand how difficult it must be when you're struggling but no proper diagnosis. Hope the biological injections help and you get a diagnosis soon. Keep us all posted 🙂xxx
