Depends: If you have post nasal drip and that is causing you to bring up phlegm then you need to try otc remedies( mucomyst etc, nose spray and allergy meds to name a few) to help with sinus congestion and if they dont work need to see your physician and may need prescription medicines. If you have acute bronchitis and dont think post nasal drip is a problem then definitely see ur physician.
