Its been 2 & half months after quitting smoking and still occasionally coughing brown phelgm. what should i do?

Stay the course : Congratulations on quitting smoking. This is probably the single best thing you could do for your health. It takes up to 9 months for your lungs to heal. So coughing up phlegm is still normal unless you have a fever and are short of breath. Keep up the good work!
