Hello
As you mentioned that your doctor treated for asthma .
As asthma is typically an allergic disease . The allergy producing factors are mite, dust , hay , fumes , pollen , mold , sudden change in temperature , pests .
The allergy produces bronchoconstriction and this causes breathlessness and also produce mucus .
Your doctor is still having mucus ( phlegm ), if it is watery or whitish color ,amy be due to allergy without any infection .
But if color is not above mentioned may be due to some infection .
So in my opinion consult a PULMONOLOGIST and get his opinion .
Mucus may be due to , these possibilities .
1Bronchitis ( allergic or non-allergic )
2 Bronchiectasis
3 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis .
Good luck.
