Phlegm keeps on coming out, it was green with coughs, now it is white and coughs stopped. no fever. How can I stop it? I am not a smoker.

Dr. Karim Farah Pulmonology
the phlegm is due to bronchitis which might be viral or bacterial (the latter needs antibiotics). if the bronchitis is chronic and recurrent then you need to do more investigation such as imaging and/or spirometry.
the best cough medicine is water. so drink lots of fluids and keep yourself well hydrated.

If this is a repetitive phenomenon we need to
Rule out: 1- sinusitis
2- bronchiectasis
3- rare diseases such as cystic fibrosis

Very simple if it comes again a CT scann chest and sinuses need to be done
