Throat Phlegm
what causes chronic phlegm in the throat
Since my posting regarding throat Phlegm on 4/20 I have started taking an over the counter generic antihistimine (aka Benadryl (diphenhydramine)). It seems to work better than the Zertec, Sudafed, etc that I have tried. Cheaper and more effective !

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Chronic phlegm can be due to allergy, gastric reflux and post nasal drip. Common food allergies are those to gluten, lactose, citrus fruits, egg, sea food, preservatives etc. Common allergens are pollen, mold, dust, pet dander, cosmetics or drugs.
Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. If phlegm is due to reflux, this will help you.
Among infective causes tuberculosis is a possibility.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!

Most often it is more apparent than real, i.e., the sensation is there but there is nothing in the throat.
