    Ongoing cough
    My husband has had a cough for about a month, maybe more. He coughs when he breathes in deeply. Tonight he said his chest feels tight. He has produced a little phelgm, but Mucinex D did not help. As far as I know, he hasn't been exposed to anyone with bronchitis, only a common cold that we know of. He work outside a lot, and now with the weather, I'm more nervous. He doesn't have a great insurance plan, so if there's an OTC remedy you could recommend, that would be great!

    Sorry if it was a few days, OTC, for a month, it can be or be leading to something far more serious, He needs to see a doctor and fairly soon

    It doesn't happen every day, only sometimes. It seems to get worse at night. Like I said though, I don't hear him every day. I don't know if it's an allergy or the weather or something else.

    That is correct, you don't know, and we don't know, he needs perhaps chest x-ray, he needs perhaps to have his breathing measured. There is just so many things it could be. And many it matters catching them early enough
