What Causes Foul Smelling Yellowish Phlegm In The Throat?
My 8 year old son has had a sore throat the last couple of days, and said it was better today, but now is having this smelly discharge/mucus every so often when he thinks he only has to pass gas. It is kind of yellow/orange. Could thid be a cold coming out of him?
