Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the air passages between the nose and the lungs, including the windpipe or trachea and the larger air tubes of the lung that bring air in from the trachea (bronchi), restricting air flow to and from the lungs. Acute, or short term, bronchitis is usually a viral infection, but can also be a bacterial infection and can heal without complications. Chronic, or long term, bronchitis is a sign of serious lung disease that may be slowed, but cannot be cured.

Yea, you should get to the doctor to get that cleared up. Here is more from WikiAnswers contributors: * That's a pretty clear sign of infection, but the good news is that your body coughing up the phlegm means it's fighting and ridding itself of the infection. Be patient, pamper yourself, and be careful about taking medications that suppress symptoms -- they may help you feel better but those symptoms are your body fighting the infection, so you don't want to get too much in its way. * Don't assume you need antibiotics. Antibiotics are overused, and you could develop a resistance to them. Then when you really need one, it could be ineffective.
