Are you talking about those small hard ones? If so ya, what's the official term for it. I told my GP he doesn't know what I'm talking about, and it's stuck in my throat, can't cough out for him to see.

i think u're not drinking enough water?
"The green color implies an advanced stage of fluid (dampness) stagnation (stasis) in the body. The color of dampness while it's in the initial stage is clear-transparent. This implies rhinitis at the initial stage or coughing. When this dampness stays unresolved for a long period (or when the stagnation energetic process is acute and fast developing), the color darkens. it becomes white, yellow, green and sometimes even black. It also gets less fluid in nature, sticky and congested. In advanced pathologies it may turn into a cyst and even tumor or cancer. The color implies the degree of stagnation in the body in many instances." -

wait...if thats the case...how come drinking soft drinks and sugary water gives your phlegm as well? -
The color of your phlegm can determine the stage of illness you got. Got once it was so bad for me that I can actually see small fine thread of blood in my green and yellow phlegm. Go c doctor say quite serious need a 5 day anti-biotics for my throat. Lucky I recover after tat anti-biotics dosage.
So dun play play leh... got continuous a few days and self medicate using cough mixture cannot work must quickly go c doctor
