Ugh. I am, like, coughing up a lung right now.

It's true. I'm all in my house with disease.

Well, actually, the cough is the only thing (physically) wrong with me right now.

Still, it's a little worrying, since I've actually been coughing stuff up. Eww.

1. AspieGrrl, this may sound gross but,

if the "stuff" turns another color ( yellow or green)
call the doctor ASAP.

That's when it turns into an infection.

I hope you feel better real soon!

2. I've been hacking phlegm, but not coughing it yet...

Is yours red at all?

If so, see doctor, NOW.

3. It's not red, but it is yellow...

(sorry if that was way too much information.)

[Kajsa]

5. NO, that's what the doctor will ask.

See a doctor ASAP, please.

[lightningandsnow]

6. I probably will...

unless it gets better on its own in the next day or so.

Thanks for the hugs.

7. Most likely bacterial, see a doc, please. Running a temp?

[lightningandsnow]

8. Nope.

I feel fine otherwise - that's the thing.

4. If your ribs start to ache even when you're not coughing

you may have actually coughed hard enough to crack a rib or strain a ligament or something.

Happened to my stepdad a while back.
