A member asked:
I had a cold last month nownow i've been coughing up phlegm for this entire month what could this be i know a common cold is only 7 days?

7 days? not really.: Up to 3 weeks, actually; but "coughing up phlegm for a month" is certainly out of bounds for a cold. You'd best go see your doc, bronchitis or sinusitis are definite possibilities.
