Black Phelgm.

2020-08-18 03:01:27
My phelgm always contains several black particles whenever I cough up phelgm. I am a non-smoker. No fever as such. Phelgm coming from the throat only. This has been happening for the past 10-11 days.

Very unlikely to get a black phlegm, if you are not a smoker. Do you take any medications, Do you work in some factory/ mining. Do you have any difficulty in breathing.
