For the last few months i have been coughing up phlegm that is yellow or white. it can interfere with my breathing at times. what could this be?

Coughing 4 months?: If you have been coughing for months it sounds to me like you really need to be evaluated. The mucus could be causing you to have some mucus-plugging in your lungs and that is readily treatable. See a doc soon or an ID person to help you solve your problems.
