I have been coughing up a lot of phlegm the past few mornings. It looks like water. Haven't had this in awhile. Go to the Dr next week, anyone else have this happen?

Hi Bugabuga: I have not had that problem, usually mine is thick and hard to get up. If it is colored I wouldn't wait until next week for doctor's appt. I would be calling to let the doctor know now what is going on, you may need to be seen sooner.

Perfectly safe, I wear my cannular every time I take a shower otherwise I would be short of breath

I have and I look at it as its comming up with no color and just go with it

Hi Bugabuga, my husband has the problem of not being able to get it up and out. Our dr. said as long as he is getting it out and it is clear, not to worry. I think you can wait for appt. But you can call Dr. and let them know what is going on. Getting it out will help prevent Pneumonia, so keep coughing it out!!

I thought as long as it was clear I was safe, but I haven't had phlegm or a cough for months and now it's back. Thanks everyone.
