Not everyone has that. I have had Asthma for about 40 years. Until 5 years ago I was using 5 drugs to control mine. That is until I discover ADVAIR. Now I use only the ADVAIR twice a day. Nothing else. No nebulizer sitting under my desk at work not extra inhalers and pills to take.
I felt like I had been let out of prison. If you aren't using it, PLEASE ask your Dr. about it.

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.
I cured my Asthma the natural way?

No one knows for sure what causes asthma, although there are a few theories. With asthma, the lungs can produce more mucus and can also have more difficulty bringing that mucus up. Of course, there are other causes for phlegm, especially thick phlegm, so don't assume it is from asthma. This site has more info about asthma:

Have you tried eliminating dairy from your diet? I suffered my whole life with asthma until I stopped consuming dairy and started taking small doses of natural ephedrine...this is the one I use:

The first step is BELIEVING that you can and will be well...that you do not NEED meds for the rest of your life...that you WILL breathe normally again!!!
You'll see!!
I'm very healthy now and there was a time when I could barely get up a flight of stairs without losing my breath....the toxins in dairy are a direct link to breathing problems...also a lack of sunlight and dependency on meds only makes matters worse.
I wish you the BEST !!!!!!!

This looks more like emphysema/COPD than asthma These are caused by stuff in the air we breath.
Thick phlegm is the lungs trying to clean themselves

my asthma, like many other middle age women is caused by acid in my stomach burning the esophagus, brought on by severe stress. which may lead to surgery for esophageal repair and more life style changes. my own personal experience been in nursing 20 years. see your GI doctor if you have symptoms

tons of things can cause asthma could be as simple as a defect somewhere in the lungs... thick phelm has nothing to do with asthma

Phlegm and asthma aren't related.
