If I cough up phglem and swallow it, am I contributing to the problem?!


Question: In other words, is it going back to the same place. Should I spit it out instead?
I'm not trying to be gross, just trying to gain medical knowledge.

It may make you nauseous. When you cough stuff up it comes from your lungs. When you swallow it, it goes to your stomach. The acids in your stomach pretty much kills it off... At least thats what my doc told me. My mom used to yell at me about swallowing the crap I would spit up so I asked the doc one day. Thats what he told me :) I would suggest spitting it out though cause its really not fun throwing that stuff up. Its not yummy.

Like I tell my kids, cough it up and spit it out!, or you'll get sicker!

OHMYYYYYYYYY :-) well the truth IMO is nothing bad happens. I even read somewhere a few days ago.

i do that too but its never made me any sicker =t
