coughing stuff up...

for the last 3 weeks i have been coughing up mucus.  its a yellowy colour.  i feel perfectly fine physically except for the coughing.  i have asthma and allergies to dust and cats, both of which i live with.  but i have been taking my asthma meds daily to keep it under control and havent had any attacks. up until recently i didnt used to take my inhalors all that often. mostly only when i needed it, but living with a smoker, dust and a cat i thought i should take better care of my asthma.  and my allergies havent been bothering me either, if they do i take claratin and it gets the job done.  so im not sure why im coughing stuff up... for 3 weeks.

Your asthma could now actually be a case of Bronchitis. Don,t put all the weight in having all symptoms at the same time.If it doesn,t clear up soon, prehaps a visit to your Physician.
Yellow is usually a color of inflammation and also pus from a bacterial infection.
Best regards, Mike
