Pulmonary problem

2016-07-01 15:04:29
I'm 60 years old female. From the past 5 months I keep spitting out phlegm. I have been to many doctors and they have all said it s only an infection and it will go away soon. But still it has not gone away. I do not have any other health problems. I had cough before but now even that is gone. Only thing is I keep spitting out phlegm always. Please help.
