Have they checked to see if you have any scar tissue on your lungs that could be causing this.Asthma, Bronchitis, and scar tissue on your lungs from past respiratory infections will cause this type of discharge. Also if you do smoke then this could be adding to the issue as well. But they should do an MRI or scan of your lungs to see if this could be related to asthma or scar tissue if this has been going on for awhile.
