Always check the phlegm color. If it's clear, white, or pale, the infection may still be viral, and antibiotics may not be necessary. If it's yellow, green, brown, or bloody, or if you are having fevers, chills, chest pains, or have other health problems, you might need antibiotics.

Phlegm is just a mass of mucus mixed with dead white blood cells. Clear or slightly yellow phlegm usually means the invaders have not penetrated deeply. But green or brown phlegm means more dead white cells, indicating that the organisms may have caused more damage.

If you are coughing up yellow phlegm, then I would suggest that you take the homeopathic remedy Pulsatilla in a 6x or 30x potency. This will be a lot more helpful than filling up with antibiotics and with no side effects.
