Excessive white phelgm

2020-11-15 15:26:12
My father is producing excessive thick white phelgm with cough everyday after he had Bronchitis a few days ago. Earlier the phelgm was yellowish for 5 to 6 days but now it's excessively white and thick. Will this go away. This excessively thick and white phelgm comes with a cough and he feels a constant need to clean the throat when talking. He has no fever or breathlessness now Just this cough and phelgm problem. Please suggest what should be done?
