I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past two months and it's really getting to me. I've tried all sorts of antibiotics, but nothing seems to help. Why isn't this going away? What else can I do to finally get some relief?

I've been dealing with this issue where every morning I cough up thick, dark phlegm and it's such a struggle. I've noticed it seems to be coming from behind my uvula. This has been going on for about eight months now and I'm not taking any medication. Should I be worried or is there something I can do?

I dont think you have any issue or you need any treatment.relax.. you can gargle with saline water at the most. If you dont have persistent cough which stays whole day or any fever sneezingcold.. nothing to be done

I'm a bit confused about the differences between asthma and COPD. They both seem similar with the breathing issues, so how can I tell them apart? Also, someone mentioned that having COPD could complicate things if you need surgery. Should I be worried about any specific problems if someone with COPD has to undergo surgery?

Asthma is seen in childhood, whereas COPD is seen i adults above 40 years of age.Asthma is triggered by allergens like pollen or dust , whereas copd is due to smoking.Asthma airway obstruction is reversible whereas COPD obstruction is irreversible Asthma is treated by inflammation and copd is treated with bronchodilators.
