What causes burning sensation in nose and black phlegm?
Patient: Hi I am currently deployed overseas as a civilian contractor. The pollution in the air is extreme. I got what would consider extremely ill my lungs burned my nose was runing constantly tong was numb i was hacking green and black phelgm. I was not wearing a mask. I have been here on and off for several years. When I go home I want to see and dr and see if I have caused any permanent damage to my lungs but am not sure what type of Dr. I should see or what to explain Doctor: Hello Whatever you will inhale  ( if polluted ) that if not fresh air will intermingled with mucus ( a long procedure due to phagocytic activities) and will come out in the form of phlegm . If polluted material is some allergen they will cause bronchoconstriction ( if bacteria then infection and phlegm i.e black or green or yellow depending on the  type of allergen or bacteria).In your case you should consult a "PULMONOLOGIST " or chest specialist .Good luck.
