A member asked:
Does cough and colds can be cause of sputum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sputum: Mucus production is normal. Excessive mucus production can be triggered by allergies, irritants and infections (viral, bacteria). Cough is frequently the body's reflex to expel mucus from the lower respiratory tract.
