Is it normal to cough up yellowy phlegm?

02.October, 2009

Today i coughed up quite a lot at once. It was quite disgusting.
Luckily i was home alone and was siiting near some tissue.
It was cloudy/yelow … is that normal?
my eyes have been hurting.. and i recetly had a sore throat if it helps.

There may be a serious risk that you have a cold!

Of course if symptoms persist or you become more unwell, consult your GP.

    If you’re a smoker, yes. If you’re a non-smoker, no.

    your sick.
    you have a cold.
    it will happen.
    just make sure to not keep it in your throat and spit it out everytime you cough.

    Yellow phelgm indicates an active infection either in your throat, upper airways or lungs. It’s probably viral in nature or as above if you’re a smoker it’s just a sign of airway irritation and decreased mucous removal.

    If you start to feel generally unwell, shivery, coughing and tired go to the doctors for some biotics, otherwise sit it out.

    Are you kidding? No. You may be sick. If you have other symptoms or if it happens again, go to the doctor.

    Do you have a cough, sore throat, cold, etc.? That might explain the cloudiness and color. Usually you would cough up clear, maybe slightly yellow phlegm. If it’s darker yellow, then it’s a problem.

    Have you recently given oral sex? sore throat, phelgm are associated with gonorrea of the throat. I got the same symptoms after giving oral sex to a man who said he was clean (yes, yes im stupid).

    oh and it can cause eye infections like conjuctivitus and gives you dry / chapped lips and excess saliva, do u have any of those?
