What Causes Persistent Coughing Up Of Brownish Yellow Phlegm Post Tonsillectomy?
I had a tonsillectomy/ adenoidectomy On July 15, 2013. I still have to cough up brownish- yellow phlegm balls frequently, and they re very thick and uncomfortable in my throat. When I can cough them out they are hard and stink! Like the fresh-recovery-breath-stinks kind of smell. I never went in for a folow up after surgery, is something wrong?
