Been coughing up green lumps of the thickest crap i can remember every morning.
How long does it take to pass?
Should i go to the docs for antibiotics or is that just the go to answer.
I'm the same as you, coughing quite a bit until I get it up then relax and wait for the next bit. I'm resisting going to the doctor though, I don't want antibiotics How long does it take to pass?

Mine started last week of March, totally wiped me up for a couple of weeks and then seemed to be turning the corner only for it to rear it's ugly head again. Went to Docs a few weeks ago as bringing up chunks of phlegm he said my chest was clear but gave me a course of antibiotics (probably just to appease me) but they had no real effect. Now seem to have a constant tickly chest and still coughing up bits and bobs. Kinda getting fed up with it now....

Cough still lingering despite a course of antibiotics but otherwise feeling much better. This seems to be everywhere.
Honest question, why use antibiotics for a cough?My Mum had this cough which really knocked her out...its more than a normal cold & cough type thing. Doc put her on antibiotics.
Well it’s now week 4, the really bad hacking cough and mucus of every color has eased BUT now find I am getting a lot of post nasal drip, literally having to clear my throat every five minutes much to the annoyance of everyone and the constant clearing is causing a sore throat, I fairly certain I am suffering from Bronchitis that was acute and is now chronic or it has really inflamed my sinuses, a quick google search suggests there’s not much the doctor can do and symptoms can come and go for months or even years! Oddly I actually feel fine when I exercise.
