Excessive mucus without cough
Dear kind community group
I am Hisham Hussain. 40 years
I have been suffering with excessive mucus coming from lungs with out coughing 3 months ago.
I find difficulty to expel continually accumulating phlegm coming from my lungs to throat
my case get worsen day by day and i feel recently short-breathing.
what make my case get worse is that i have not cough to help in expelling mucus out so it go to accumulate into lungs and airways.
I took montelukast and xyzal medicines for 2 weeks but i did not feel any better
have you found anything that helps ?

Dear @marzz
thank you for caring
my doc give me recently enzyme similar like which you used, it called Alphintern (trypsin and chymotrypin enzymes)
when I use that enzyme(alphintern) I feel better and mucus expelled out easily but after stopping it my condition deteriorate again
I am afraid if there is a definite disease can not still be diagnosis truly and in the same time I continually using medicines just temporally palliative.
Could you @marzz please tell me how long did you use your enzyme Serratia Peptidase ?
and did it give you perfect recovery?
Hello, my condition is diagnosed as Bronchiectasis which has no cure. the enzymes dissolve the mucus. if I stop taking them, it builds up again. This may be due to allergic reaction to dust and dander, or just bacteria in lungs. I recently stopped eating ANYTHING at all before bed to prevent GERD which also causes mucus formation in the lungs. when I feel hunger late at night, I drink two glasses of water to feel full. I sometimes stop the enzyme for a few days at a time to cut back on them. I will try stopping for a couple of weeks and see how my breathing is. I hope you find some answers. Our bodies are responding to something in our environments, this is a terrible condition and chronic. do you use HEPA air cleaners at all? this is important to remove possible mucus triggering allergens.
dairy products cause our bodies to react by inflammation and mucus due to this food source does not belong in humans bodies. it is for young calves not humans. this is why we react this way. I heat my creamer to almost boil to kill off bad bacteria if I use it in coffee. otherwise I do not touch MILK. it is loaded with pus and bad bacterias. terrible!
thank you dear. you are so sweet and helpful. fortunately, I do not take any other medicines or over the counter medicines either. I will certainly go to my doctor and ask more questions now that I am learning about all this. I really appreciate You, this forum, and all the NICE caring people here! HUGS! Marianne

I think we share me and you the same symptoms like the excess mucus without cough and GERD
but are you trust that enzyme is the perfect medicine to treat?
we may. I do think I have some gerd issues, I was eating before bed a lot and recently stopped that habit! I need to stay on track and do all the right things to reduce flare ups. it is true that we are what we eat!
Thank you for your many suggestions to help relieve various symptoms of IPF. I have had ILD since 2012 viewed on cat scans not of pulmonary but incidental to bone scan, abdominal scans,etc. My doctor did nothing and dismissed any significance to my health. Fast forward to 2016 and again same scenario, only this time SOB and cough were gaining my attention. Since November, I've had pft's & visits to pulmonologist but he waited until February to order oxygen. My symptoms have been getting worse but it seems like the disease is racing along. From no oxygen to continuous O2 and up to 05 with activity is of concern to me. Can this IPF get worse this quickly. Or was it getting worse all along. I'm a petite woman & losing weight isn't a benefit to me. I feel tethered to this oxygen and getting it right when I leave this house is imperative! The pulmonologist is satisfied that Esbriet and O2 are the way to improvement. I'm not sure how he arrived @ the dx.
May I have your thots(and I don' t ask for medical info, just your accumulated experience with lung disease)-- I feel like I am drowning.
1st i have the same condition ... please try use ivy leaves extracts if it works with u .. if not u can use Robitussin AC or its substitutional 10m every 4 hrs

Dear hisham i too have the same symtomps what you have.im depressed lot.i need solution i visited lot of doctors no one diagonosed my problem iam scared to go outsde and work please help me
@loopkie et al Sounds to me like we all have the same condition: Excess eosinophils in the airways other tubing. If this is it, it is an easy diagnosis...lab work... and fix... many major pharmacies in chain stores and locals sell about 15 pills for less than a dollar Mucus stopper. Or, there are more expensive versions. Ask your druggist for the "Least Expensive Mucus Remover". They cannot tell you unless you ask for the "Cheapest" or "Least expensive". Then they are required by law to tell you about it.
