Went to see the ENT doctor he put a camera probe down wifes nose and throat all looked ok nothing found, given prescription for Benzonatate (Tessalon Peries) take for two weeks, if that dont work try Claritan for two weeks...if that dont work try Mucinex dm....and thats it bye....
Let me start in the begining, July 2024 the mucas started we went to pulmanary doctor had ct scan found mild bronchiectasis, tried to get a mucas sample but didnt work to much spit in it...doctor said use nebulizer, saline salution, she used that all through 2025..we decided to see an infectious disease doctor, that was waste of time. Then we went to another pulmanary doctor closer to home, that got knowhere...all through 2025 weight loss, then hospital reaction to the saline etc immune system failed...i will miss out the next five months...month ago another ct scan, no nebulizer used, back to the first pulmanary doctor, same no mucas to test watery...doctor said her lungs were ok?? and sent us to the ENT...he should have sent her to that doctor in the begining...on the new meds two days...i am convinced its her lungs...still coughing and white throthy mucas, anything in the air causes cough very sensitive...got to be lungs

@uksparky ,
I'm so sorry that things aren't working out better for your wife. You mentioned at one point that Mucinex was suggested. My husband had lung cancer and was terribly congested. He used Mucinex and it worked wonderfully! You can get it from Amazon. My husband had a really bad night and ordered Mucinex for that night. Amazon got it there in 2 hours and by morning my husband was all cleared up and no more congestion. He continued to use Mucinex when needed for the rest of his life. It got rid of the congestion and also there started to be less congestion over time. My husband died of lung cancer at age 83 two years ago. However, I feel the Mucinex helped to make his last days much easier and possibly even prolonged his life somewhat because he could breathe better.
Just ask God for help. He will be there for your wife. I will say a prayer for both of you.
I wish you the best.
