A member asked:
I had pneumonia about 2 weeks ago and i have continued to cough up nickle and sometimes quarter sized chunks of yellowish mucus.

That may con-: tinue for a while as your lungs clear themselves of infection and inflammation. The mucous will turn white and then clear, and you will stop coughing in several weeks to a month.
