I have had phlegm since i stopped smoking a month ago, i was wondering if i can completely remove all the phlegm with some medicine or exercise?

Try taking mucinex (guaifenesin) : Dm, do slow deep breathing, make it a habit to spit up phlegm, chew cough drops, steam inhalation. Follow up with your dr for worsening of symptoms. Best wishes!
