A member asked:

I have a painful sore throat that started last night and the next morning i spat out a orange-yellowish booger is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Of course not: If it were normal you would not be asking the question. When you have a respiratory tract infection the inflammatory materials may pile up and need to be coughed out. This coughed up material contains secretions, damaged tissue, bacteria or virus and other materials you may have breathed in. It is normal in the sense that that is what happens, .
