I had pneumonia for 8 weeks last fall. took antibiotics; infection gone but still coughing up thick, green phlegm all day, every day. what is this???

Revisit your doctor : You need another look, may be not your lungs, rather your sinuses, or you may have some residual bronchitis. You didn't mention risk factors as smoking, active or passive. Meanwhile stay well hydrated, see your doctor for assessment, good luck
