Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Brown phlegm with chest pain is more suggestive of lung infection.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray.
If chest x ray is showing lung infection (pneumonia) then she should be admitted and start Intravenous fluid and antibiotics.
So don't wait at home. Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your wife. Thanks.
