Bad cough after sore throat giving dark yellow phlemgn. should i take antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Phlegm: Dark yellow phlegm from a bad cough certainly sounds like it could be infection. But, it is best to have an evaluation by someone who can listen to your lungs to be able to diagnose the problem and render appropriate medical treatment. This treatment may or may not include antibiotics.
