An abnormal breathing sound produced by the presence of phlegm in the airways. In wheezing panting patterns, a continuous rale that sounds like the croaking of frogs is called frog rale in the throat. This is usually a sign of cold rheum due to phlegm-rheum in the inner body and cold evil in the outer body. In conditions of coma or certain blockages of the throat, a phlegm rale is described as having the rasping sound of a saw.
