A member asked:
Heard a wheeze type sound when i had phlegm but as soon as i cleared my throat it was gone. is this bad? or ok since it instantly went away?

If it cleared: once you coughed or cleared your throat, it probably was an upper airway mucous plug, as opposed to wheezing from a lower airway problem. If it continues to happen or happens again, but doesn't clear, you should have your doctor take a listen to your chest.
