A member asked:
I keep coughing up phlegm, it started off as a cold like a month ago. my throat is really sore.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Residual bronchitis: What you describe is residual irritation of the bronchial tubes in your lung termed at this point chronic bronchitis. The soreness of your throat is likely related to the frequency of coughing. The throat is a muscle and it can get sore like any other muscle when over used. You need a cough medicine and possibly antibiotic. See your doctor
