Yellow phlegm itself is not contagious; rather, it is a symptom that often indicates an underlying infection, such as a cold or bronchitis. The contagiousness comes from the pathogens causing the infection, not the phlegm itself. If the infection is viral or bacterial, it can be spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It's important to practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of any underlying illness.
