Warning, this might be TMI for some people - and don't read while eating your lunch!

I've recently had a chest infection, which is mostly gone now, but I'm still coughing stuff up. Thing is, I recenltly read that you can get the 'clear-out' cough months after you quit - I've been quit for 5 1/2 months now, so I'm not sure if it's that I've got.

My question is, what did/does the quitting phelgm look like? I've heard that it's brown - how brown are we talking? Anything specific to it that's very different to an infection.

Sorry for the gross-out, I'm just debating whether to bother my poor doctor again. If it's just my lungs clearing out, I'll leave it. Already had a course of antibiotics :(.
