Coughing up phlegm

2017-12-18 04:02:08
When I cough, light brown phlegm, that looks almost gel like comes out. It has darker brown spots in it. Has been happening on and off for several years. Went to the doctor 2 years ago and they didn't find anything wrong. Started happening more frequently in the last few weeks.
