I have had a cough with greenish glob of muses for several years. My sister died of stage 4 lung cancer so I had my chest exrayed and my lungs were clear. I smoke pot. I have stopped to see if that was the cause , it didn t seem to change anything. But, maybe I didn t give that enough time? I have several health issues....diabetic use insulin, pacretitis of unknown why. Never drank much. My pancreas actually ruptured? Was suppose to kill me. Obviously that didn t happen. I m 58 years old. Have a hard time with energy levels, keeping body temperature regulated. Have night sweats wake up soaked. Went thru menopause years ago. Get irritable without reason. I fight anxiety all the time. So.?

What Causes Coughing Up Of Green Phlegm?
Hello, Cough with green sputum is suggestive of bacterial infection seen in Bronchitis or pneumonia. You may need to get chest x-ray and sputum examination for culture and microscopy. You can use antibiotics like Amoxicillin Clavulanate thrice a day for five days. In diabetes, a Pseudomonas infection is common so need to start anti Pseudomonas drugs. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
