Does asthma produce phlegm?
My colleague with asthma always clears his throat, complaining about phlegm, especially during season changes. Is it normal for asthma to cause the production of phlegm in the lungs?

Oh yes, it turns your throat into a mini phlegm factory! Don't worry, it is just your lungs being overly dramatic, so keep some warm water handy.

It absolutely does, and it totally ruins the taste of my favorite hot soups! I usually avoid deep-fried stuff and ice cream when the phlegm gets bad.

I used to feel so frustrated and claustrophobic when I couldn't clear that heavy phlegm from my chest. It is a really exhausting feeling, and it is completely okay to feel drained by it.

I understand how scary it feels when you can't breathe properly due to phlegm build-up. Just sit upright, breathe slowly, and remember that this feeling will pass once your medicine starts working.

Phlegm production is a typical physiological response to airway inflammation in asthma. While home remedies offer temporary comfort, consulting your pulmonologist for an adjusted inhaler dose is the best course of action.
