Hi
thanks for contacting us
Your history is still not clear to make diagnosis for Bronchial asthma. You are spitting white stuff , which I understands it your Sputum which is coming out from your lungs. Further investigation must be required
1. Chest XRAY ( xray are avoid during pregnancy and if required use abdominal shield.)
2. Sputum for AFB
3. Complete blood count
if you Adult
Till investigation get completed you must take Tablet Azithromycin 500 once a day Cough Syrup Dextromethorphan base thrice a day and consult to Doctor
I find this answer helpful
