2. Bronchiectasis: its typical symptoms are chronic cough, coughing up a lot of purulent sputum and repeated hemoptysis, most of which are more obvious in the morning, evening and bedtime coughing up sputum.
3. Bronchial fistula complicating abscess: If abscess causes bronchial fistula, a large amount of pus and sputum mixture can be coughed up, which is manifested as yellow and thick sputum.
It is recommended that people with yellow and sticky sputum go to a regular hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
