Why does my mom cough and spit up mucus after we walk every morning?
My mom coughs and spits up mucus everytime we go walking around the park in the morning. She has diabetes, glaucoma and she has had pneumonia. She coughs a lot and spits up mucus but she does it a lot after we walk in the morning. She coughs and spits up mucus when she smells smoke or smoke from food or when its hot she starts coughing. Is it because she used to have pneumonia or that she smokes?

Hi there,
Okay I'm not a doctor and the only one who can tell for sure would be a doctor. However It sounds to me like catarrh.
It's where mucus or phlegm drips down the back of the nasal passageway and the throat.
I have a similar problem myself. It usually happens more when I am stressed and it's heightened when I am sick. It's pretty harmless more of a annoyance really. My doctor prescribed tablets to keep it under control and that helped a lot. So it could be that. There are a lot of things that trigger catarrh. Also given that she smokes could really worsen it. It could also be associated with smokers cough. It could also most definitely be associated with the pneumonia!
She needs to see a doctor straight away to sort it out.
It could be something minor like catarrh smokers cough or an after affect or pneumonia. Or it could be much more serious. Encourage her to go.
Good luck and I hope this helps

This is the farthest thing from normal. She needs to see a doctor. I'm not one and nor are anyone affiliated with this site. We couldn't begin to tell you what the issue is and nor would we want to as wrong medical advice can have bad consequences.
Any time fluids or something is coming coughed up like that is a concern. It could be for a variety of reasons from benign to even life threatening. What it is indicating is a problem that is severe enough to be looked into pronto. Have her see a doctor or visit an emergency room to figure out what's happening and why. Better to be safe than sorry as this isn't something normal.
