Eau De Nil Coloured Phlegm...

Following a night of coughing and spluttering can I be confident that's the colour it should be?

So far as I am aware, Sandy, yellow or greeny phlegm indicates an infection which needs attention. Clear is OK.

Eau de Nil is a bit 80s Sandy! Seriously I always thought greenish phlegm signified a bacterial infection but I noticed sqad dismiss this the other day.

The coughing is no where as bad as it was. Hopefully I'm returning to rude good health.

Hope so, Sandy.
You could always try to get a telephone consultation when the surgery opens on Monday to be on the safe side.

I am not sure what colour eau de Nil

DO you have a temperature ( above 37'C that is ? you need a thermometer, I have two ....... invaluable )

and what is your respiratory rate.

If they are all normal you arent gonna die .....

Nope. He was a former neighbour. As soon as I saw the PIC I was reminded of him.
