What creates white guey flem when u have post nasal drip and cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sinus: The thicker phlegm that you cough up is usually from the goblet sells which are on the surface layer of your bronchial tubes and from the bronchial mucus glands in your bronchial wall. The thicker mucus from your post nasal drainage is usually a bacterial or viral sinus infection.
