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.

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.
