A member asked:
Would white clumpy phlegm be characteristic of an allergic reaction? (since i do have allergies and asthma). thanks.

Yes, it can: Thick sputum is one of the hall marks of poorly controlled asthma and can also be the result of post nasal drip from allergic sinusitis. You need to see your allergist (or if you haven't seen one, please do) to have your medications adjusted.
