Dear community group
I am Tsedach Alemu. 35 years old.
I have been suffering with excessive mucus coming from lungs with out coughing 6 months ago.
I find difficulty to expel continually accumulating mucus coming from my lungs to throat. The mucus has a salty taste. I have no other symptoms like fever, cough, chest pain etc. I have taken ceftriaxone 1 gm IV/daily for 5 days and ciprofloxacillin 500mg po BID for 7 days. But I don't get improvements.
currently I am be coming worry about my illness. Because I visited many clinics but the doctors could not diagnose and treat my case.

Do you have any thing to help me?

@tsedachalemu- Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This is tough to go through as you will see in other posts and what others have to say. Did this start abruptly? Have you checked to see if you have Acid Reflux Disease (GERD)? Have you had any lung tests done? It might be a good idea to see a pulmonologist and a GI doctor.
Meanwhile here are a few links and some helpfull hints:
