Does coughing up yellow flem mean strep throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A productive cough is not typically associated with strep pharyngitis. A viral upper respiratory tract infection is the most common cause of sputum. However, if you develop high fevers or shortness of breath you should be evaluated by your primary care provider.
