A member asked:

My phlegm is a rust brown color. i have a deep cough, shortness of breathe, severe chest pain, and night sweats. i have chronic costrocondritis ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood in sputum?: The description of your phlegm makes me think that blood could be discoloring it, which would obviously be concerning, especially in light of your other symptoms. Are you a smoker? how old are you? You may need some testing soon - CT scan, bronchoscopy.
