A member asked:
I have asthma and always have phlegm in my throat. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The phlegm may be from the asthma, or from sinus disease, or from your smoking (if this applies to you). It could be an infection, or just bronchitis without an infection. If this is a constant problem, would go see your doctor or even a lung specialist.
