Sue, I have lately been coughing up white stringie globs do you have any idea what that may be? I sent the sputum in for culture. As usual it takes a while before we get it back. Growing cultures takes 3-12 weeks sometimes. Gloria

I can't say what the mucus might be - it could be infection related, a sign of an allergy, or a side effect of your medication. So glad they did a culture to give you an answer.

I have had these frequently with bronchitis. Oddly enough, they no longer occur since my MAC diagnosis. Curious as well.
