Black particles in phelgm/Grey Phelgm.

Question

Asked for Male, 61 Years

I have been coughing up thick phelgm for the past 2 months. Nowadays I am noticing that the phelgm contains some black particles in it or it is grey thick sticky jelly like substance. I have no fever and the cough is not persistent. Once only in every ten to fifteen minutes but with phelgm. I can feel the phelgm coming from the lower throat. Non smoker and no fever also. Is it serious?

Hi...based on your brief history....in cases of cough with expectoration for 2 or more months...we always should rule out tuberculosis first!! Other details like about breathlessness,wheezing, evening rise of temperature,blood tinged sputum, recent weight loss? Habits like gutka chewing or drinking?? Chronic ailments like diabetes?? All these information is required for a provisional diagnosis...
