Is Vomiting Of Phlegm Normal After A Physio Treatment In A 5 Month Old?

my son is 5 months and has been making crackling sounds like there's phlegm. Took him to physio and they took the phlegm out by patting him on his back and by putting some thin syringe in his nose and throat, I took him two time and he didn't like it very much cried throughout the procedure. Now it looks like he has been getting the phlegm out and it is too much. He vomits it, its in his stool etc. Is this normal after physio.

Infants dont spit the phlegm . they just swallow it, which then appears in stool or vomitus. So this is a normal finding.
