almost 7 months ago I was diagnosed with pneumonia. Since this time, but not before, I cough up greenish mucus all morning. The mucus has no blood but taste metallic like blood. Should I be worried? I havent been back to my doctor since. Should I go?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... You are having green colored stained phlegm ... So it's not normal.... Post nasal Chat Doctor. ... For that physical examination and auscultation is first indeed... If abnormal than further work up done with digital chest x-ray (if rales or rhonchi heard)It might be bacterial infection for which antibiotic course given..... If still symptom not improves than sputum culture and cytological examination done ... Take care Advise
