A member asked:
I am still coughing up light yellow mucus in the morning after pneumonia. my cough isn't persistent just in the morning. is this normal?

Mgt: From your description, the mucus may actually be from post nasal drip. I would advise a nasal rinse at night and in the morning. If the cough continues for more than 2 weeks, or is associated with pain/fever/distress, please see your physician.
