For 6 months ive had a feeling of something in my throat and have been coughing up phlegm with brown spots in it. any idea what could cause this?

Sputum culture: I would suggest testing the sputum for blood , bacterial and fungal pathogens. The sputum may also be part of TB screening. Your PCP can further evaluate and a chest radiograph is also indicated. Please seek medical care.
