Coughing Up Phlegm: What The Color Of Your Sputum Says About Your Health - Medical Daily Coughing Up Phlegm: What The Color Of Your Sputum Says About Your Health - Medical Daily Posted: 09 Sep 2015 12:00 AM PDT It's not uncommon when you develop a hacking cough from deep down in your lungs to cough up a gel-like substance known as phlegm, or sputum. While you may think nothing of it, simply associating it with your sickness, the color of the mucus can tell you some things about the pathogens invading your body. The body is a mucus-making machine, producing about 1 to 1.5 liters of phlegm every day , even when you're healthy.

Lung cancer symptoms: Having this type of infection could be a warning of the deadly disea - Express Lung cancer symptoms: Having this type of infection could be a warning of the deadly disea - Express Posted: 31 Dec 2019 06:36 AM PST Lung cancer has two main types, non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer.

Even when symptoms such as coughing and fatigue occur, many believe it's due to other causes.
