Hi,
I've had this chronic phlegm for the last 2 years. I just start to salivate excessively and have to swallow. i also start to feel nauseous from all the phlegm. also, it feels like theres something caught in my throat. i cant breathe that well out of my nostrils either. my doctor gave me 5 days of cefzil b/c he said he saw a hint of a nasal infection, but the symptoms only went away for a few days and now they are black. i also spit up black specks in my phlegm in the mornings.
pls advise!!!

 Hello:
Having a chronic cough for two years with phlegm that has black specks in it, could indicate a more serious lung condition. I would suggest you return to your doctor and let him know about the black specks. A full exam of your lungs and air passages to rule out anything serious would be what I would recommend to you.
Regards,
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn!! =)
Thanks for responding! The problem is, I don't have a chronic cough, its just that i spit out thick clear phlegm with the black specks in the mornings only when i do a deep clearing of my throat.
Do you still think this could be a serious lung condition?
