A member asked:
Partner keeps coughing up white pelmet. sometimes can be hard lumps of phelm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info needed: Right now, it is hard for me to answer the question because I am not sure what the question is. If your partner were to see me, I would start with a thorough history and physical examination. The next step would be some simple lab work and a chest x-ray. People cough up phlegm for all sorts of reasons, most of them are easily treatable. But your partner needs to see a doctor.
