When you are phlegmy from postnasal drip, should you resist the urge to cough?!


Question: When you are phlegmy from postnasal drip, should you resist the urge to cough!?
I have a sinus infection and a sore throat!. I am wheezing from all the mucus and can't breathe through my mouth without choking!. So should I try my best to periodically expel all the mucous from my lungs, or should I try to cough as little as possible!?

Answers:
NOOO!! cough it all out!.

coughing is your bodies response to a foreign material in your respiratory system!. if you don't cough it out, you can count on having a nice pneumonia!.do you take breathing treatments at home (albuterol, atrovent)!? just wait for the infection to clear and you will be all good!. coughing does not aggrevate wheezing, lots of mucus does!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
