Cough brown phlegm: Likely bronchitis with irritation and some blood streaking , but if fever may be pneumonia or TB, rarely pulmonary embolism causes streaked cough( are you a smoker on birth control pills? because increases the risk) Since it is going on a week would seek medical attention at doctor /urgent care today, may need antibiotics or other treatment.

Get in: If you are having fever, shortness of breath, or achiness with your cough then you should get in right away to be seen. A cough like this can be a viral illness that can clear on its own, but if you are very sick, get in to make sur you do not have a pneumonia. Try some honey with lemon for the cough. Good luck!
