Can Allergy To Polyurethane Dust Cause Sore Throat And Yellow Phlegm?
I was sanding polyurethane and after I had a sore throat. I coughed up yellow phlegm in the morning, but has gone down through out the day. My body slightly aches. Do you think I had a slight allergic reaction to some polyurethane dust I may have inhaled during sanding?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you had a reaction to the agent that you were using.
If this is the case, then the use of oral antihistamines may help.
One of these would be available over the counter at your local pharmacy.
Eg benadryl, allegra, zyrtec, claritine
I hope this helps
