Constant phlegm in throat

[shannonwooten]

For about a year now, it feels like I have phlegm/mucus stuck in my throat and can't completely clear my throat. Also when I cough, its a lil wet and there is phlegm.

When I started to have the problem, I went to the doc and he said it just may be sinuses and sent me on my way... but never went away.

I went to the doc while I was in Basic Training in SC... then went to GA for 4 months... back to FL for a few months (where i use to live) and now I am in NC.... never went away so I don't think it has anything to do with sinuses...?

I to have the same symptoms! Always feels like there is phlegm stuck in my throat and I am constantly trying to clear it. I do have bad acid reflux and it seems that his could be what's contributing to my symptoms from reading some of the posts on here.

Has anyone found that taking antacids daily will make the symptoms go away??

This has been driving me crazy for the past month now! I just wish it would go away

I have the same problem, I won't say I have a cure, but have found a natural way to alleviate symptoms. Found it on EarthClinic. 1/2 teaspoon of each of the following - Turmeric, Cayenne Pepper, Cardamom, Ginger in a large cup of hot water - aka spice tea. It breaks up the phlegm. I now use this once-twice a day.

ELITETILINGWA,
How long did the nasal spray take to work?

Any news on the phlegm?  Saw your post and I have white phlegm in my throat that I clear out in the morning, dry mouth, and constant bad breath.  I drink tons of water daily and doesn't help.  The phlegm is the worst at night and after I eat.  It was really bad years ago...but still a nuisance.  Let me know!

I have the same thing too...they say sinus drip  I went to the doctors, she had the same thing as well.  Actually she said sometimes when she talks a gargle sound comes out of her voice.  I have the same thing.  Apparently no one really knows or really thinks it is important.  Sinus drip....

This sounds exactly like my problem and I've just started research. LPR (type of acid reflux) was cited as possibility). Started taking DGL and tums to experiement. They seem to have STARTED to make a difference but having my worst day ever today. Did you find resolution?

[Byrd001]

Did you find taking the antacids made the Symptom go away and if so how long did it take?
Thank you

I am experiencing the same exact thing, one doctor said sinuses however cat scan shows sinuses are fine...another said see an allergist, I've been under going allergy treatment for 4 years and he said it might be GERD..ok, been on Prilosec for 4 months and still have the same problem...now I've been referred to a ENT doctor...I will be seeing him next week...just for the record about 5 years ago I had experienced the same thing under went a load of exams, procedures and medications and nothing fixed the problem. I eventually gave up because no one seem to know what or why.  One day it just stopped happening after several months...however it's back....so let's see what this ENT doctor says...I'll keep you posted

If you have a halitial hernia, GERD, ACID REFLUX, MUCUS DRAINING IN THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT, and its starting to hurt when you breath or swallow, a bloated abdomen from eating that remains until you wake from sleep the next morning it could be  gastroparesis. I'm just saying.
