This definitely warrants seeing your primary care physician for a lung examination.
Is it discolored? If yes, you need antibiotics. If no, I’d suggest allergy medications, singular and mucinex
Limited information. Any pre-existing lung issues, e.g. smoking, asthma, industrial exposures, etc. Need to drink at least two quarts of water a day. Get Robitussin with any cough suppressants. See MD for chest exam and possible antibiotics. Could be walking pneumonia, i.e. mycoplasma. Augmentin or zithromax may help.
Hello,

Recommend see a lung specialist. May need a chest X-ray and treatment.
