I have a very bad bronchial cough, COPD, asthma, and have been sick for at least a week with a constant cough that alternates between dry and wet, accompanied by headache, diarrhea, pain on the left side under the breast in the ribs, and a low-grade fever. I've tried various cough medicines, including Mucinex, Combivent Respimat, extra strength Advil, and Buckley's, but they haven't helped. I'm a smoker and haven't been able to sleep due to the severity of the cough. What should I do?
