Too much Phlegm for years

[lucasbrown]

Hello, id like to find some help.

I have a serious issue with phlegm.

I have so much phlegm that i have to spit on average every 5-10 minutes.Sometimes theres part saliva but usually its nothing but phlegm.

It is very disgusting and because of how much i spit i have a cup for spitting next to the desk and bed as i get this all the time apart when im sleeping.

Sometimes its so bad that if i dont spit i can breath anymore.
Id like to have your opinions on why i have this problem and how i can solve it with herbal/pharmaceuticals medicines.


Thank you



Lucas

Hi, your symptoms could be due to a post nasal drip, which can cause a chronic irritation in the throat. This could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens. These are substances like pollen, dust, animal dander, certain foods, insect venoms and certain medications. Exposure to allergens causes a runny nose with a resultant post nasal drip where secretions from the nose go backward into the throat and irritate causing phlegm production. You will need to consult your primary care physician for proper clinical assessment. In the meantime for relief from your symptoms you could do warm salt gargles and take OTC antihistamines. Regards.
