I finished a round of iv abx about 3 weeks ago. My typical symptoms of being sick are increased mucus production, extreme shortness of breath with activity or just sitting, and a cough that causes me to barely be able to catch my breath. It sounds like I'm panting for atleast 5 minutes every time. Well, for the past two weeks I have had an extreme increase of mucus production. It is green so I know it's infected. The doc put me on Levaquin just because I've never tried it before. I am having none of my other usual symptoms though so I'm wondering why I am coughing up so much mucus. Getting the mucus up is not very difficult because I'm on Mucinex and Pulmozyme. It's just irritating because I literally can't go 10 minutes without coughing huge blobs of mucus!
So I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything else I could possibly do to decrease the amount that I am coughing up?! I've looked up some foods and such that are supposed to promote mucus production and foods that are supposed to help cut mucus production. I'll probably be creating a new diet for myself tonight!
I feel like my doc has basically thrown her hands up because she can't find a reason for any of my issues. Any advice/tips would be awesome!!!
