Could just be an upper respiratory infection. I have the same problem right now. I am coughing up phlegm all day. I also have a continuous runny nose. I got a steroid shot but did not help. Taking allergy medication daily and getting my allergy shots every 5 weeks.

sorry if this is long. it was warm here for a few days a few weeks ago so my parents turned the stove off(and regular heat is off cause mom does like it on much even in winter). i was ok with the heat being off since it was nice out. but then it got cold again and one day it was cold enough here that i had on a jacket and 3 blankets and was still cold and asked my mom to turn the stove back on and give us heat and she said no the stove is off now and it will stay off. so somedays it is so cold in here that i use jackets and few blankets and i start shaking some cause it is cold in here. at bedtime i use 4 blankets. my asthma gets worse in the winter or cold weather. so with it being cold in the house not only have i been shaking some cause of being cold, but i also seem to wake up lil stuffy and u can also tell in my voice that i am a lil off. but the mainly thing is lil most days for the last week or so i been waking up extra phlegmy and it is

annoying, today i ended up throwing up some of the phlegm. i am tired of the phlegm and also tired of being cold. so is my asthma going off or is it just from being cold? the one summer i had an air conditioner in my room and i would wake every morning extra phlegmy so thinks it might be asthma going off. had a nebulizer once and it got rid of most of my phlegm and i told my lung doctor that and i asked for a nebulizer and they would not give it to me. all they would give me is advair, which it worked stopped my coughing in 2 days but i am still phlegmy. so is my asthma going off or is it just cause i am cold? and what i can do to fix this problem? P.S i had an asthma checkup scheduled for march but mom did not want to take off work and take me and no one else could so i had to reschedule it for april 24th
