What causes yellow sputum?

If the sputum you cough up is yellow, it may be caused by getting too hot or too inflammatory. The most common ones are colds and coughs, or bronchitis and asthma. In daily life, if such symptoms appear, you should emphasize nutrition, pay attention to treatment, and also pay attention to your diet. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

What causes yellow sputum?

1. The sputum you cough up is yellow, which may be caused by lung heat and excessive sputum.

Lung heat cough with lots of sputum is caused by wind-heat evil toxins invading the lungs, or wind-cold turning into heat, which burns the lungs.

Failure to promote descending and clearing away the phlegm and heat inside the body leads to stagnation of heat in the lungs, resulting in a symptom characterized by cough, which often occurs after a lung heat cold or without cold symptoms. Lung heat cough is often seen in children with low immunity, and the main manifestation is recurrent coughing. Clinically, Chinese patent medicines such as Xiaoer Feire Kechuan Oral Liquid are mainly used for treatment, which can significantly promote the peristalsis of pharyngeal and bronchial cilia and enhance the expectoration effect. At the same time, the medicine can cover the inflamed pharyngeal mucosa, relieve inflammatory stimulation, and have a significant and lasting antitussive effect.

2. If the sputum you cough up is yellow, it may be due to bronchitis or pneumonia.

Bronchitis in children is usually a complication caused by viral infections such as the common cold and influenza, but may also be caused by bacterial infection. It is a common acute upper respiratory tract infection in children. In the early stage of acute bronchitis, there is a dry cough, and the amount of sputum gradually increases and becomes mucopurulent sputum. If the treatment is not thorough, it can easily turn into chronic bronchitis, with persistent cough as the main symptom, which does not heal for many months and worsens in the morning and evening, especially at night. The amount of sputum may be more or less, and it is faster to cough it out. Why is the phlegm I cough up yellow every morning?

3. Other reasons why the sputum you cough up every morning is yellow

Many people will find a phenomenon when they wake up in the morning, that is, they are prone to coughing up yellow sputum in the morning. This is very uncomfortable and distressing. When this phenomenon occurs, we need to remind everyone to be vigilant and wonder whether it is caused by chronic bronchitis, because one of the symptoms of this disease is coughing up yellow sputum. If it is confirmed to be the case, then we need to pay attention to scientific treatment and medication.

According to the patient's symptoms, in this case, we should pay attention to the possibility that it is caused by diseases such as chronic bronchitis. In this case, we should pay attention to the possibility that it is caused by diseases such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, etc. In this case, we should also pay attention to whether there is the possibility of other abnormal manifestations, such as difficulty breathing. In this case, we should also pay attention to possible reasons such as the patient's low resistance.

In this case, the first thing to do is to stabilize your emotions, avoid strenuous activities, take oral bronchitis vaccine tablets, BCG polysaccharide and other drugs for treatment, and use drugs such as ambroxol. If necessary, go to the respiratory department of a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment, such as chest X-rays, blood routine tests, etc., and formulate reasonable treatment measures based on the examination results.
