Thanks for your question on HCM. Yellow phlegm indicates infection. So I advice you to start antibiotic, flouroquinolone broad spectrum antibiotic should be started.
And regurgitation is not common. And can cause aspiration pneumonia. So better to consult ENT surgeon for regurgitation.
As if this is not treated properly, chances of infection will increase.
So start antibiotic and consult ENTsurgeon.
