😷 Constant Phlegm in Your Throat? Here’s Why It Happens

Do you often feel like there’s something stuck in your throat or notice persistent phlegm that doesn’t seem to go away? It’s more common than you think, and while it’s usually not life-threatening, understanding the causes can help you find relief and prevent complications.

🔹 What Is Phlegm?

Phlegm is a type of mucus produced by your respiratory system. Its main functions are:

• Trapping dust, bacteria, and other particles

• Protecting and lubricating the throat and airways

• Helping your immune system fight infections

Normally, the body clears mucus naturally, often without us noticing. But when phlegm becomes excessive or persistent, it signals that something is off.
