{Sort of gross, sorry!!}
Hey Everyone,
For the last couple of months I've been coughing up this yellow-ish flem {sp?}
stuff. It really hurts to cough and it gives me a HUGE headache!
I'm on Flunarizine now but I wasn't when I started coughing up the yellow stuff.

I swallow gum sometimes so I don't know if it has anything to do with that :confused:

If anyone can give me some advice that would be GREAT!!
Thanks for all your help

I would check with your doctor. It could be broncitis. Make sure that the flem is not green in any way because that would mean infection. Never the less, something is going on, alergies??? You shouldn't let a cough go that long, it is probably not something serious, but the doc is the expert! Good luck!

Yellow and green are both indicative of infection. It does sound like bronchitis.
