Coughing up phlegm - happens every morning but it has been 3 hours im exhausted how can i make it stop?

when you cough, it's actually a good thing cuz you're expelling something that shouldn't be there in the first place;; you may wanna try moving your arms around in the am to speed up the process; but, hon, something is very wrong here d/t the color & quantity, that you NEED to talk to a doc about;; could be pneumonia or any infection that you have;; of course, in the am, you really feel more cuz you've not been moving all night & the tendency to collect is a little overwhelming;; get to a doc, please, so he can determine what is causing this excess...
