White phlegm is usually caused by cold.

You can take Xuanli Lung Pills.

Phlegm is generally divided into three types: white sputum, yellow sputum and blood sputum, and the color of sputum is different, and the hints are also different. Sputum is a process in which secretions produced by trachea, bronchial or alveolar tissues due to various causes are excreted from the body by ciliary movement followed by coughing.

The following mainly describes in detail the specific ** that produces white sputum. First of all, for example, in the process of upper respiratory tract infection, if it is a respiratory secretion caused by viral bronchitis caused by various respiratory viruses, such as syncytial virus, coxsackievirus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, rhinovirus or adenovirus, then most of them are white sputum, and when white sputum, white blood cells and neutrophils are not high, and lymphocytes are relatively high. If a secondary bacterial infection occurs later and white blood cells and neutrophils are high, the sputum may turn yellow.

Secondly, for patients with bronchial asthma who are exposed to allergens or have a cold, they will also cough up sputum, at this time, most of them vomit white foamy sputum, unless secondary bacterial infection, otherwise some people generally do not vomit yellow sputum. Thirdly, patients with chronic bronchitis may also vomit white sputum in the case of a cold and cold, and the color of the sputum may turn yellow after secondary bacterial infection. Fourth, patients with interstitial pneumonia usually cough and vomit white sputum, and the color of sputum will turn yellow in secondary bacterial infection.

Fifth, for patients with lung tumors, such as alveolar carcinoma, patients will vomit a large amount of white thin foamy sputum, and most of them can be diagnosed after blood sampling to test tumor markers, fibrobronchial and chest CT examinations. Sixth, for patients with cough variant asthma, they often cough and sometimes vomit a small amount of white sticky sputum.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the water in the human body can be divided into water, dampness, drinking, and phlegm. Under the condition that the human body skills are normal, the water in the body will maintain a dynamic balance, but when there is a problem with the function of transporting water and dampness, first of all, when the problem is slight, the body will be damp, and the body will be sleepy, and then develop the dampness into a drink, according to the different parts of the drink may appear cough, vomiting, etc., if the fluid continues to be damaged, the drink will further condense into phlegm, it is generally believed that "the spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lungs are the organ for storing phlegm", so the situation of more phlegm often causes cough and other lung symptoms.

The first reason is that it may be because of the wind cold, the second reason is that it is on fire, and there is a lot of stomach acid, and the third reason is that it is suffering from pharyngitis, so there is this white phlegm.

Generally, it may be on fire or there is some secretion in your respiratory tract, or it may be bronchitis caused by some viral infection. Generally, it is mainly white foamy sputum.

It is also because of infection with wind cold or excessive gastric acid secretion, and inflammation in the body, which will cause this symptom, and you need to take care of your body more in your daily life.
