How long have you been feeling this way?

How long have you had the cough?

Any blood in your mucus when you cough?

If you didn't have the trouble breathing and the blood in your mucus(even though it is probably just caused by coughing so much) I would tell you to sit on it and take over the counter meds for some relief. But since you are having these symptoms I believe you should see a doctor this week just to rule out an infection such as bronchitis or pneumonia. You may need antibiotics to clear up an infection. If you can't get in to see a doctor this week and you feel that you just can't wait because of your breathing I recommend an ER visit. If this answer helps please hit the accept button. Thank you.
