What causes excessive mucus in the throat while having asthma?
Patient: I am a 83 year old woman. I have asthma and for l0 days I have had so much mucus It rattled and I couldn t get it up. Urgent care gave me antibodic, predsone and now over the counter Mucus Relief . They said when you can t get up the mucus it forms an infection. it has been l0 days and only slightly better. Could this be a form of pneumonia Doctor: Yes it can be pneumonia you chest xray will differentiate which pneumonia it is. You must follow up with your doctor and ask him/her to have your xray done
