10. Phlegm is Natural; Too Much is Not

Phlegm is a natural part of our bodies, but too much phlegm is a sign of something wrong. Phlegm that is colored is definitely a sign something is going on with your body, which is why you should not ignore coughs that produce phlegm of any color. Some conditions described above are serious to life-threatening, so if you're having trouble breathing, have pain in your chest, sweating, or shortness of breath with colored or excessive phlegm, seek medical help immediately.
