I have a lot of mucus, a sore throat, clogged ears, and a sore back from coughing. My COVID test was negative. I was given cough medicine for nighttime, but it's not working. The coughing is mainly when I walk around or talk too much. It's sometimes wet and sometimes dry, and I sometimes hear a gurgle in my chest. I used the cough medicine the first night and was unable to function for the next few days. I am 58 years old.
