Im asthmatic but its well controlled
Since saturday ive started having blocked nose,cataargh&a cough with hard feeling throat(not really sore as such)&this cough is producing brown mucus.ive upped my inhalers to twice a day since it started&after a while once ive used the inhalers it turns more yellow ish.
I also use a beconase spray for my nose which ive also upped to twice daily but nose isnt clearing v quickly
ive had problems with my ears for a while.itching pain etc
Does this brown mucus mean an infection?
Im guessing its all linked
Ive been quite breathless at times.especially yesterday when walking home from work.i couldnt take a breath in&panicked a bitbut was ok after
Am i gonna have to end up going to gp again?

Yes. It sounds like you need to see your GP. Hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like an infection to me.

You need to go the doctors.
