Why Coughing Up Orange Phlegm When Suffering From Flu Symptoms?
I have had flu symptoms for a few days now- very sore throat, fever, fatigue. I started on an antibiotic yesterday when I started coughing up orange phlegm. I am on holiday in Indonesia and luckily had brought some antibiotics with me as a precaution. But why would I cough up orange phlegm?
