I'm curious and a bit worried about something that's been happening. Whenever I cough, I notice a clear liquid, almost like saliva, coming from my mouth. It's got this salty-sweet taste to it. It's not discolored like yellow or green, just clear, but I'm unsure what might be causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's been dealing with COPD after smoking for 35 years, but he quit cigarettes three years ago. He also had CAD and underwent CABG three years back. He's on medication for his heart, and all his tests are coming back normal now. For COPD, he used to take Fluticasone, Salmeterol, and Tiotropium Bromide but these days, he's just on Seroflo 250 BD. The issue we're having is with nighttime as soon as he lies down to sleep, he starts producing sputum and has to cough it up. He doesn't have problems sitting up, and there's no orthopnea or nocturnal apnea, just sputum, so he's been taking Levocetirizine and Montelukast for that. I'm wondering if we should add back TIOVA? Also, is it okay for him to use Monticope daily? And with his substernal hernia, is it still safe for him to do his breathing exercises by lifting the ball? Would really appreciate some guidance.

You are recieving right treatment no need to worry give some time rest your voice untill you recover consume warm foods,visit ENT doctor for evaluating further.
