What is the reason for spitting black phlegm in the morning

From a health perspective, if everything is normal in the human body, there will be no bad symptoms. Pain or changes in a person's excretions are usually signs of a disease. Some people have coffee-colored sputum when they wake up in the morning, that is, the saliva looks black, which means that there may be some kind of lesion or inflammation in the respiratory tract. You should pay attention and seek medical attention in time. Let's learn about diseases related to spitting.

If you have coffee-colored sputum when you wake up in the morning, you must go to the hospital for medical treatment: it means there is inflammation or lesions in the respiratory tract, and you must seek medical treatment and treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition.

1. If the sputum is yellow, it indicates a purulent infection. If it is green, it indicates a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Such as: tracheitis, chronic bronchitis, tuberculosis, lung abscess

2. Red or brown sputum indicates blood in the sputum, which is seen in lung cancer, tuberculosis, bronchitis. Pink sputum indicates acute pulmonary edema.

3. When the sputum is brown in color, it is seen in amoebic lung abscess

4. When the sputum is rotten peach-shaped, it is due to the decomposition of necrotic lung tissue, which is seen in paragonimiasis. Paragonimiasis can be found under a microscope.

5. When the sputum is rusty, it is seen in lobar pneumonia

6. When the sputum has a foul odor and is black in color, it is seen in lung abscess, bronchiectasis and late-stage lung malignant tumors.

If the sputum you cough up is brown, you need to consider the possibility of bleeding in the oral cavity or nasopharynx. The brown sputum may be related to blood mixed in the sputum or a large amount of dust in the air. The sputum may be produced by the bronchi, lungs, or rhinitis. Bronchial or lung diseases are usually accompanied by cough, chest pain, etc., and you have no other discomfort, so the possibility of nasopharyngeal disease is generally considered. If there is discomfort in the throat, a foreign body sensation in the throat, and sputum that is difficult to cough up, you need to consider pharyngitis. You can go to the ENT department for a consultation, check with a nasoscope or electronic laryngoscope, etc., to determine whether there are ruptured capillaries and bleeding in the nasopharynx, and rule out the possibility of nasopharyngeal disease.
