Since Dec 2007 I have had 9 colds all of which have began the same, severe sore throat, mucus at back of throat. Mucus for first couple of days looks an orange colour ending in coughing up green sputum with bad hoarseness. The cold lasts a few days but the syptoms that follow can last weeks. I can then have as little as a few days feeling well up to about a month at most before I catch yet another cold.
I am asthmatic and use a steriod inhaler twice a day but very rarely need to use my reliever inhaler as its uncommon for me to be wheezy and more common for me to be breathless. I use a beconase nasal spray for perenial rhinitis. In between these bouts of illness I have really bad post nasal drip and am constantly clearing my throat. When I clear my throat, I spit up brown speckled sputum.
Have been to the doctors so many times and seem to be getting no where. I have had 4 courses of antibiotics, 2 lots of sudafed, been told to use a seawater nasal spray, have been treated for oral thrush twice. I
I caught another cold a few days ago and have been blowing out huge lumps of stuff from my nose, mainly in morning. I know this sounds totally gross, but the lumps are the size and shape of a cornflake, green and slimy. I am coughing up stinky yellow stuff and when I do I have slight discomfort from left side of chest and I am really hoarse again.
This constant illnress is making me depressed, I have 2 children aged 3 and 4 and have no energy. Feel like I just want to sleeep all the time. Hope someone can help.
