That : That isn't normal to have yellow phlegm after exercising. If you smoke then please stop. Please see your doctor or a pulmonologist for a complete evaluation of your asthma. If you had worse secretions, green sputum, fever, or shortness of breath, then you would have to go to the er.

You need yreatment: You have asthma and you say you cough every day.Cough is also a symptom of asthma and if you want to stop coughing you need a controller medicine like singular or inlaled corticosteroid or a combination of steroid and long acting bronchodilater.You should have a pulmonary function test done and if it shows restriction, repeat after two puffs of albuterol to see the reversibility of the restriction.
