6 months ago i got a cold and was coughing up green phlegm. ever since then i have clear phlegm coming up and every few weeks it goes green again?

Phlegm: Hi! Chronic or ongoing phlegm production could be due to an infection, chronic bronchitis or something like allergies. If this has been going on for 6 months, then it is probably a good idea to get evaluated. You could try an over the counter allergy medicine (such as Zyrtec) to see if you get relief. If you do, then it would give some information on possible cause. Please get it evaluated.
