Chronic cough with sputum and nighttime
I have been suffering from cold, runny nose and cough repeatedly for about one month.
Now the cough has become severe, especially at night, and it disturbs my sleep.
I cough up sputum and I also hear a wheezing sound from my chest while breathing.
There is chest congestion and heaviness.
I do not have fever currently and there is no blood in sputum.
I have not noticed any weight loss or night sweats.
sometimes i took Mucinac 600 mg for mucus.
Please advise whether this could be chronic bronchitis or asthma, and whether I need an inhaler, further medicines, or tests like spirometry.
