Please consult with a doctor.
If you are coughing up green or brown phlegm you most likely have bronchitis. It will not go away on its own, so you will need to go to the Doctor and get an antibiotic.

Where I live, 'Hock up" means coughing up phlegm, especially the type that you can spit.
Cough medicines may help either to control coughing or loosen the phlegm.
Yes. You should see a doctor.
Ejecting phlegm or mucus from the throat or lungs, by coughing.
A nonproductive cough is a cough that does not bring up phlegm or mucus. It is also called a dry cough, and tends to irritate the throat much more than a productive cough (a cough that brings up phlegm and/or mucus) does.
You can try taking an oral expectorant-type cough medicine. Expectorants are substances that promote coughing rather than suppressing it, in order to bring out phlegm from the bronchia.
Phlegm refers to the mucus lining of bodily cavities, especially that of the respiratory system. Excessive phlegm is associated with colds and influenza and can cause coughing and respiratory distress.
You should visit your doctor, particularly if this has been going on for several days. If you smoke, you should consider stopping.
If it is phlegm from being sick (if it is yellow or green) then take a decongestant or gargle with warm salt water, which breaks up the phlegm and kills the bacteria that produce it.
