Every morning flem or mucus i spit out as soon as i wake lasting about a half hour to forty five minutes. i've had about 6mo. what could it be.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Productive cough: Productive cough of large amounts of phlegm esp early in the morning is characteristic for bronchiectasis. It might be chronic bronchitis as well esp if there is a long history of smoking. This needs to be evaluated by a specialist.
