since oct of 2002 i came down with a cough and had a slight infection in my lung....lots of phelgm and sputum...cleared up with antibiotic....the dr said i could have borderline asthma with allergies...but cant be sure....since oct of 2002 i have had ecessive sputum coming up..clear or whiteish just like excess spit thats a little gooey....and i have to cough it up...its almost like its stuck in my throat...about two weeks ago..i noticed my eyes got a little bloodshot and were alittle sore a bit....but i think its my sinuses cause above my eyes and under my brows its sore and i have been told its sinuses....i went to the eye doctor and had a full exam and he said im ok....maybe its all allegy related.....what could this sputum and eye thing be??? allergies?? I also have had a little problem focusing with some headaches...

My money's on allergies but getting checked out by a GP is never a bad idea.

General Practioner, or simply put, your regular doctor

Have you ever heard of "Bronchiectasis"? I have it and do alot of hard coughing to get up mucus laying on my lower lobes of the lungs. My lung doctor finally listened when I told him quite often how hard it was for me to get this junk up. He ordered a special CT scan and it picked it up.
