A member asked:

Is it bad to swallow the mucus you cough up? even if it's blackish colored?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Typically OK: It is OK to do this in general as you swallow mucus from sinuses all the time with post nasal drip, but if you have black mucus, you should get that looked at and see a doctor.
