A member asked:
What are the signs of a tooth infection does it make a person cough up mucus?

Pain, swelling: Dental infections usually cause tooth pain or swelling. Sometimes, pain can be in the upper cheek. This is also the location for a sinus infection, which is more likely to cause mucous. You should visit your doctor for an examination to determine your diagnosis.

No corelation: The symptoms of a tooth or gum infection are usually pain and swelling. There would be no reason that coughing up mucous would be tooth related.
