Hey everyone, Hope we are all well.
My mum has previously had chemo and now started radiotherapy for lung cancer. She also has severe COPD. She coughs like every 5 mins which makes her cough up thick green sputum each time. I appreciate there is a cough with COPD but should it be like this? She has an inhaler once a day, red and grey in colour which helps a little bit. She has also taken carbocisteine which doesn't really help. I think she has had a bacterial infection due to chemo and hasn't had the right antibiotics, due to allergies. She has no temperature or anything.
Could this be the COPD? Is it a continual infection? Just at a dead end as to how I can help with the cough......if anything....
Thank you for reading.
