I have constantly got gunk in the back of my throat that wont cough up and constantly swollowing the gunk.
My asthma is bad at the moment and been the docs and said im on max everything now and sounded my chest and said I have no chest infection.
Today ive had 2 attacks left me breathless and lots of reliever,I am settled now but still constant gunk in my throat again ,wont come up and constantly swollowing it .
I know yellow and green gunk is infection .but as carnt get it up to see I dont know what colour it is and
doc said had no infection yesterday.
Im waiting see my con in june and results of a reverse airway test and the man that did the test said the salbutamol did nothing to my results.
So what I realy just need to know is this normal all this gunk in my throat 24/7 or if I have another bad go then go to AnE or 24 hour doc
edit-been off work 6 weeks and signed off fit to start monday so realy want be well
Glynis I would have been at a and e after 1st attack never mind waiting for a 3rd. At a and e also do an xray And bloods so will b better at diagnosing. Regarding gunk have u discussed wiith gp a nasal spray incase of nasal drip.
Gussypoo,told the doc about the rubish and he sounded my chest and said no infection and didnt seem worried at all just put me on second week of pred.
