Um, ew...

I ask with the knowledge that it falls firmly in the TMI camp: What does it mean if you have a deep chest-cough for two weeks, occasionally coughing up phlegmy stuff without bothering to look at it, and then you finally decide to take a glance, so you get some of this aforementioned gunk into a Kleenex, and it's...um...a cocoa-ish, just-ate-an-Oreo-and-brushed-my-teeth-right-after dark brown?

Sorry. Do carry on.

Call your doctor. It sounds like dried blood, which could mean a number of things, but in my layperson's opinion, you maybe injurying your tissue from hacking so hard. You need something to ease the cough at the very least, and also find out why you have it.

Seems the most logical explanation. The last time I checked, it's been coming up clear, so hopefully it's nothing worse. Will go tomorrow, as I have the day off.
