I have coughed out black phlegm several times in the past couple of months. 2 months ago i was diagnosed with asthma. i turned 19 last november. i quit smoking 3 years ago. should i be worried?

COPD may present early. A Pulmonary referral and pulmonary function testing is indicated. Continue Asthma medication and discuss whether an imaging study should be considered. Avoid smoke and stay well hydrated. Save a sample for your physician. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and cough.

For years, i've had a hacking cough that brings up gluelike chunks of yellow phlegm. Doctors always say it's the asthma, but even with meds...
For the past 3 days I've been experiencing a cough. It started off as a dry cough but then progressed to a productive cough. I had fatigue on day two. As far as I know, no fever or only low-grade. My phlegm is yellow chunks. Asthma sufferer too.
This might be a strange question, but can the air used for clearing your throat bring up phlegm from the lungs? No cough, but on occasion have found blood in sputum after clearing throat. Also suffer from PN drip/allergies/asthma. Worried about NSCLC
