Yup, every so often I'll cough up a brown loogie.
Oneironaut Reviewed by Oneironaut on . Coughing: A neutral perspective Coughing is a symptom, not a disease. It is the underlying cause of the cough that needs to be treated. You should consult your doctor if any of the following symptoms accompany a cough, so that possible underlying causes can be investigated and treated where necessary: * coughing up phlegm that is green, rusty brown, yellow, blood-stained or foul smelling. * chest pain. * shortness of breath or wheezing.
