coughing

Avatar f tn on a morning when i wake up i always need to cough and clear my throat since about a year ago. but now it has extended to needing to do it throughout the day. sometime the mucus that comes up is small hard sticky lumps that nearly make me be sick as they get stuck in my throat. or some times theres a lot of yellow and white flem. its never clear. I'm wondering wat the cause of this is as i can constantly feel it there at back of my throat like a coating.
Avatar m tn I have been waking up for the past few mornings and hacking up these chunks of mucus. I would like to know what it is before I go t see my doctor, incase its nothing and I go for no reason.
Avatar n tn A week ago I was sick for the whole week with the flu. I had all the normal flu symptoms and was given notuss to try and control the violent cough I had. I had fever, headache, chills, aches, and would wake up during the night in coughing fits. I haven't had a fever in over a week and a half but I still have the hacking violent cough. I thought nothing of it until last night when I had a coughing fit and coughed up what appeared (and tasted like) blood.
Avatar f tn When I do cough in the MORNING (on purpose), I cough up quite thick chunks of phlegm that are bright yellow, sometimes a greenish color (I cough about 10 chunks up each morning), and then as the day goes on, when I cough up phlegm, it is white and/or clear, less chunky, but still quite thick. I am worried about •Bronchiectasis because 1. It's week #5 and although the cough has gotten MUCH better, I still have phlegm/chest congestion daily and 2.

Avatar m tn The poo never gets out solid or in one piece, rather, the opposite. Some times solid pieces come out but always followed with smaller chunks. Other times its always only small chunks. I have a regular basis of going to the loo. Mornings and evenings. And it's always with coffee and a cigarette. The white goo comes only some times and after I have used water to clean my self. How serious is this? This has been happening for more than 3 years.
Avatar f tn d had 3 positives and 2 negatives. I have also been bleeding for 3 weeks, lots of chunks and heavy blood. I decided to take another test today and at first their was a line saying I'm pregnant and a minute later it was completely positive! Same test too! Help!
Avatar n tn Have been coughing blood in small amounts in the past two days . Was taking TB medication and finally I was told it wasn't TB . Had x-rays taken before and after treatment no change in the spot in the lungs . As of right now it's more like chunks of blood instead of watery blood .

2006603 tn?1331329327 I feel kind of silly asking this question but i really have no clue how to do the whole solid food stuff. My son is only 9 weeks old but i want to know now. When do you start introducing solid foods and what kinds/brands. Like can you start with gerber jar food, or do you have to start with something else? And i noticed that the gerber jar food comes in labels of 1st foods, 2nd foods and 3rd foods, is that the order your supposed to introduce them? and when can you introuce actual food.
Avatar n tn Have yet to find some form of consistent answer regarding "lumpy, jelly-like, semi-solid ejaculations. I mean, in my case (26 year-old healthy male) it is to the point where I can feel it "stuck" inside of my vas deference (I think) or one of the other "transport tubes" that is connected to my right testicle (in this area I feel a knot or "blue balls" sensation).
Avatar n tn A friend of mine (who refuses to go to a doctor, no matter how much I nag them) is worried about their symptoms of constant runny nose, wheezing in throat but not in chest, breathlessness, and coughing up white phlegm. My friend IS a smoker, and is going through a lot of stress currently.
Avatar f tn Can you mucus plug come out as just white chunks? im 36+4 as well, and have 24 days left?
Avatar m tn I need help...my son 6 years old don't eat eat any solid food at all, It seems to me that he doesn't know how to chew at all. All his food has to be pureed before he can eat them. Please, someone help us.
Avatar m tn So I am a 33 year old male, in the past I was social smoker and drinker. I occasionally when I swallow (a "dry" swallow with saliva, never with food) I have a click or a pop sound I can hear it and I can feel it on the outside of my neck, just to the right and just above my Adams apple.
Avatar n tn My cat has been throwing up rather frequently as of late. She's never been one to do so [except the occasional hairball. But we're talking once a year for that] It's often almost a lime green colour and has the consistency of pudding; Maybe not quite as thick but very close. Other times, it's more light green with chunks of food. She's thrown up three times today but I've no clue if it's plants that she's eating or if she's sick.
Avatar f tn So gross, makes a gross taste in my mouth, and generally when I cough it sounds like I should be coughing something up but nothing actually comes up. Anyhow, I am still taking the medication, not sure why it made me cough blood, but we shall see what happens, I have all this medication for a week! Hopefully it works.
Avatar m tn This typically supsides and I am left with a scrathcy voice coughing up these almost solid like flem balls. My voice usually gets better after I get one of these out but it doesn't last long. The doctor prescribes me antibiotics of some sort and this usually clears it up. I am concerned why I seem to be getting this more frequently and not sure if there could be some other underlying cause. Any advice would be appreciated.
937826 tn?1261333879 I have another questions I have been doing alot of coughing been coughing up alot of plehm but for the past half hour I have been coughing up blood not a smear of blood but a half dollar size amount of blood each time should I worry about this.
Avatar n tn They did manage to bring her back and no sooner did they kick us out of there! The doctor sure had a scared look on his face too. Lately she has been coughing up blood and her hand gets to tingling from time to time. She also gets short of breath pretty often. Without any insurance, where do we turn from here? Are there any places that do body scans at reasonable prices as we are not made of money.
Avatar n tn I've been coughing up(from the back of the throat and sometimes below the opening leading up to the nose) these thick mucusy things you talk about for 8 years. I had a specimen sent off and it was Staph aureus. So far no antibiotic I've tried has cured it.
550546 tn?1249410039 So last week, I began noticing these small bits of 'stuff' mixed in with my discharge. The best way I can describe it were little bits of whitish/yellowish snot (not the clear kind, but the more opaque solid kind). I figured that maybe it was part of my mucous plug being 'chipped away'. I usually happens for a day then is gone for a few before reappearing. Well, today, I noticed it again ...only this time the small chunk was more greenish in color.
