I have cough and sometimes the phlegm is transparent,foamy and if u pinch it sounds like popping..what kind of disease i have?thank you

Frothy phlegm: I would be concerned about tuberculosis given your location although just about any lung and some heart disease can cause this. You should probably have someone listen to your lungs and consider a CXR.
