My dad died earlier this year due to ingested pneumonia. Swallowed some lunch the wrong way and was already on the critcal list by the next morning.
The fact that a foreign body in the lungs is actually causing a phlegmy discharge must be checked out by a GP.

With my original post about the yellow/green phlegm, looks like its related to an ongoing illness that I have been suffering through. So much fun having a multitude of illnesses for the last 2.5 months. Back on the anit-botics again and off for a chest x-ray just to make sure there is nothing else going on.

I'm glad I read this post.
It's made me wary of the potential problem.
Thanks

Pretty hard for anything to get right through into your lungs. Happens in older people or intoxicated people due to a depressed cough reflex most often. Maybe a mild immune response in your upper airways if it had something nasty on it before you coughed it up?
