What Does Gray Phlegm While Coughing Indicate?

, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I've been having a soar throat where it feels like I have a peice of bone stuck on the one side of my throat. I cough,and when I cough I have a grayish green phlegm. I also notice that during the mid day it goes away,at night it starts to come back and when i wake up in the morning it hurts the most. I looked at the back of my throat in the mirror and it looks like i do have swelling of some sort one one side of the back near the tonsil. Any ideas?

Hello

As you explain the history you should be examined by an ENT specialist for evaluating the throat and the larynx better with a laryngoscope.
