I Have Asthma

I learned something new as to why I cough up phlegm after I use my rescue inhaler.

Coughing up more phlegm than usual could be a sign your airways are inflamed, meaning they get narrower and cause other asthma symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness. ... If you're struggling for breath, your reliever inhaler will help open up your airways in the short-term.
