What does the yellow and white sputum coughed up in the throat mean?
The appearance of yellow phlegm is often due to the strong internal heat, which will make the color of phlegm heavier. When there is yellow phlegm, the body may have other discomfort, that is, it will feel dry mouth and itchy throat. Yellow phlegm is still relatively thick, and there may be massive yellow phlegm. These performances can show that the internal heat is relatively strong and should be healthy. It may also be a manifestation of a cold, as well as lung or bronchial problems, which are prone to yellow phlegm.
Of course, the appearance of yellow phlegm is not necessarily an attack of heat evil, but also an attack of cold evil. For example, thin yellow phlegm is not caused by excessive internal heat, but mostly by colds and physical problems. Such yellow phlegm will not make you feel thirsty and want to drink water.
If the white sputum looks thin, it is probably caused by a cold. When thin white sputum appears, you will feel headache or other discomfort. If the white sputum is bubbly at the same time, that is, the lungs are attacked by cold air, which will affect the health of the lungs and lead to the white sputum being bubbly.
If the white phlegm is thin, but the cough is heavy, in nine cases, the body moisture is heavy, that is, wet phlegm appears. It is necessary to nurse the spleen in time. When the spleen is weak, there will be problems in water transport. If the excess water can't be discharged, it will gradually form phlegm.
Besides yellow phlegm and white phlegm, we should pay more attention to two kinds of phlegm.
One is massive black sputum, and the other is pink foam-like sputum. The problems caused by these two kinds of phlegm are more serious and should be paid more attention to. Black sputum, mostly deposited sputum, accumulates in the body for too long, which is easy for people who are in harsh environment for a long time. For example, underground workers are dirty and messy. After a long time, they will affect their health and have black sputum. People who smoke for a long time are also prone to this phenomenon, so be vigilant.
Pink foam-like sputum also needs attention. When there is congestion in the body, it is easy to have pink foam-like phlegm. If you have this situation, don't be careless. I hope to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Through understanding, we can know that different colors of sputum represent different problems. If we want to solve the problem more effectively, we must find suitable reasons, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort and suffer less. At ordinary times, we should develop good living habits, enhance the immunity and resistance of the human body, keep the lungs healthy, and eat more food that supplements the lungs.
