From my research and experience:
The respiratory stuff is the throat chakra which completely aligns with your desire to sing. The phlegm may be respiratory but also may be related to the intestines and digestion.
For intestines: Give some attention to your diet, intuitively. Dairy products can cause mucus in the lungs as well as the digestive tract, for instance. Maybe do a colon cleanse. On the emotional level, let go of/deal with things you have been hoarding or repressing.
For respiratory issues and the throat chakra: Beyond diet and exercise, I would suggest opening the throat chakra. I have had the experience of a couple of different ways to facilitate this. One was martial arts. In martial arts one needs to use the voice to produce tension and strength. Learning to kaia, a meaningful yell done while tightening the core and using force, helped me to release constriction in the throat. Also, in a rebirthing class once, a facilitator had me scream into a pillow. If you have the intention to open the throat chakra, the right things for you will likely appear as opportunities.
Finally, sing anyway. Don't judge. Just sing.
