Coughing up phlegm is a good thing. But if your cough lasts longer than two weeks or if the phlegm is yellow, green, brown, black, white or red, you should schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible.

I took doxycycline & metrogyl with placentrex injection for 14 days.in my last tvs, free fluid in pod is shown, fluid left side was shown. Doc said fluid length is 3 mm. Some doc asked me to start att, my mantoux, tb gold and endometrial biopsy tb pcr all are negative. Kindly guide about next procedure as nothing is clear whether I have hydrosalpinx or not.
