I have had a terrible cough with sputum for last 20 days. Coughing gets worse when I lie down in supine and the phlegm keeps coming. Now and then I have a runny nose. Sputum is yellow in morning then white all through day. Tried otc benadryl, ascoril, honeytus. None helped. I am a female, age 37, smoker with pets in the house and weight 60 kilos. Also take 5mg coversyl.
