A member asked:
3rd day of cold is it normal to cough up some yellow phlegm in morning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, usually: That is not unusual. Sometimes, coughs from colds can take several days to go away or get better. Obviously, if it gets much worse, or you start coughing up blood, would go see a doc right away. Hope you feel better!
