What Causes Yellowish Brown Mucus During Cough With Blocked Nose?
Hello, I am 17 years old, female and a smoker. I don't usually suffer with coughing, but recently i have developed a very chesty cough along with a blocked nose. I am coughing up dark yellow + brown mucus. I have had this cough for around 4 weeks now, and it seems to be getting worse. what could it be?
You explain that you have cough with yellow phlegm since 4 weeks. and given the fact that you are a smoker it would be better to do some blood tests to rule out any infection of the lungs,and a Spirometry . Hole blood count CRP ALT,AST Chest X Ray X Ray of the sinuses
If these tests are positive you should have a medication antibiotics mucolitis some vitamins and simptomatics and you should be better. I strongly recommend you to stop smoking.
Thank you
