I'm really worried because every morning when I wake up, I have this really bad cough. Sometimes there's even a little blood in it, and I feel like I might throw up. It only happens in the morning though. What could be causing this?
Morning cough with blood and occasional vomiting may indicate an underlying respiratory issue, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, or tuberculosis; other possible causes include acid reflux, postnasal drip, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); consult a pulmonologist

I've been getting this slight cough since May and I don't usually cough a lot, but I feel like there's some chest congestion. Could it be that there's thickened mucus there? This seems to happen once a year now for about the past 5 years. Normally, I just take regular cough syrup and it goes away, but this time I haven't taken anything. Should I be worried or do anything different?
take tablet mucinac for 5 days twice a day
