[|Human|] I have had a cough and mucus/flem issue from my nose and lungs for two months now. It has really started to hurt, it gets worse at night and once I start coughing it is hard to stop. I don t smoke and I m not around smoke. I sound like a smoker and would blame it on that or second hand if I was exposed to it, however, I m not. It is slowly worsening but my tissue use has slowed down. Do I have cancer :(
[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1.  Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2.  Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). By your symptoms and history, possibility of asthma or bronchitis is high. Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection and lung cancer. PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma or bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. So get done PFT. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamines Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
