I have been dealing with an awful morning cough for about a month now and each morning spend about 30 minutes to an hour coughing up gross....congeiled yellow gunk....I am getting tired of this awful ritual! After I have cleared my chest, I don't have any more problems until the next morning. I have had asthma and allergy problems for years now so I wouldn't think it would be those affecting me? Even in the awful allergy time months ago I didn't experience this problem. I don't smoke and am not around anyone that smokes...my son has severe allergy problems and our house is about as allergen free as we can make it- special mattress and pillow covers, removing all carpet, little to no open clutter for dust to accumulate on- even going as far as installing special filters and ultraviolet light that are directly linked into our AC ducts....any ideas? Thanks!

Despite the allergy steps taken at home, this cough can still be allergy related or sinus related. The yellow gunk makes me suspect sinus or bronchial related but it could be something different. The best thing to do is see your doctor for a complete check up and possibly some testing. No one, not even a doctor, can tell you what is going on without an examination.
