Hi, thank you for your question.

It would help me to know a bit more about yourself and your general health.

What is your age?

Are you a smoker?

What is your height and weight?

You mention you have had a cough for a couple of months, can you describe what type of cough, is there congestion on the chest? What makes it better or worse?

Apart from the pink phlegm, is there any other colour? When do you bring up the pink phlegm?

How is your general health? Do you have any heart or lung problems?

How are you at walking on the flat, or up a hill?

Do you take any medication, or use any inhalers?

Thanks
