Summary: Phlegm liquid respiratory tract ' Bronchus, trachea, throat, nose) Mucus that the mucous membrane secreted. Under the normal situation, the mucous membrane of respiratory tract secretes a small amount of mucus, play a role in keeping the respiratory tract wet. Dipping in the liquid can also function as protective screen, it can cling germ, dust, foreign matter which invade the respiratory tract, etc., because there is a large amount of in the mucus " Dissolve fungus enzyme " ,Can kill germs.
Phlegm liquid respiratory tract ' Bronchus, trachea, throat, nose) Mucus that the mucous membrane secreted. Under the normal situation, the mucous membrane of respiratory tract secretes a small amount of mucus, play a role in keeping the respiratory tract wet. Dipping in the liquid can also function as protective screen, it can cling germ, dust, foreign matter which invade the respiratory tract, etc., because there is a large amount of in the mucus " Dissolve fungus enzyme " ,Can kill germs. Normal people usually expectoration, a few people get up, can have a small amount of the intersection of phlegm and liquid expectorate early morning only, its color is clear and transparent, belong to the normal phenomenon. When the unusual change takes place in the respiratory tract, or different periods of the same disease, phlegm liquid amount, quality, flavor,etc. change. So observe these change while being careful, can discern disease in the daily life.
1,Look at the color of the phlegm
If patient's unexpected hyperpyrexia, shiver with cold, chest ache, cough, and will cough ferruginous phlegm, have pointed out and suffered from big leaf pneumonia. If the expectoration color is yellow or yellowish green, have then send the possibility infected. Green phlegm is expectorated, see jaundice, cheese pneumonia, lung green suppuration bacillus infect more; Pink foam a kind of phlegm is seen in the acute lung edema; Black ashy phlegm, see at the lung dust calm disease; Tan phlegm, chocolate phlegm are the even mixtures of blood and suppuration, see at * amebic lung abscess.
2,Look at the properties of the phlegm
Initial stage when the white or colourless viscous phlegm sees more bronchitis, big leaf pneumonia and bronchus asthma,etc.; Slurry phlegm, thin and having foam phlegms to see in the lung stagnation of the blood. If divide one layer of phlegm, namely the phlegm liquid is quiet to divide three layers after putting, upper strata are foams, under the foam is the suppuration composition, the middle levels, in order to mix hanging the mucus, the lower floor is organized for necrosis, see more bronchiectasis, lung abscess, pulmonary tuberculosis cavity,etc..
3,Look at the quantity of the phlegm
If the intersection of phlegm and liquid little, than when being normal large, common to diseases such as upper airway infection, acute bronchitis, pneumonia early period,etc.. If there is much phlegm liquid, quantity is big, will erupt the cavity, lung edema simultaneously etc. commonly at lung abscess, pulmonary tuberculosis.
