Can one cigar cause brown phlegm? Or having flu like symptoms? |
Ok, my husband has been sick since sunday, 4 days ago. He has been having flu like symptoms (body aching, fever, headache, cough). He does not have the flu, he was tested at his dr.s office monday. He has since been taking liquid Zicam and a cough syrup with hydro codeine in it. He is feeling much better(no fever, less muscle aches) BUT today when he coughs, which is minimal, he coughs up thick, light brown phlegm. I know the Zicam is an expectorant, but I thought normal phlegm was whitish/greenish? He used to smoke about 5 or so yrs ago for about 2 yrs. He does not anymore, only the occasional cigar(black and mild), he smoked one this wekeend right before he became sick, could this have anything to do with it? I'm just worried and want to know why he has brown phlegm... Possibly but it sounds more like the flu to me. If he inhaled it could cause him to have the gross brown phlegm and possibly a cough. If your hubby is going to smoke an occasional cigar buy him a couple good ones. Black and mild are pretty low and the cigar scale. Check out this site below and suprise him with a few cigars of a different standard! If your going to smoke I say smoke something worth while not a gas station cigar! Check out this site below for some great cigars. Hope your hubby feels better! I would think the brown in the phlegm would be residual blood, and not cigar smoke. He may need antibiotics. |
