Spitting up white foamy phlegm. feel like gagging whenever i swallow. what is this?

Not certain: Depends on some things. Much more info needed. But must consider this as a response of the body to exposure of a possible chemical or poison such as insecticides. If this persists or other things going wrong, then see an MD soon, very soon. Zmd
