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

4️⃣ Respiratory Infections 🤒

• Viral infections like cold or flu, or bacterial infections like bronchitis, can increase phlegm production.

• Phlegm may change color, becoming yellow or green, which signals the immune system is at work.

5️⃣ Acid Reflux (GERD) 🔥

• Stomach acid that moves up the esophagus can irritate the throat and cause excess mucus.

• Often accompanied by heartburn or sour taste in the mouth.

6️⃣ Chronic Sinusitis 🌿

• Long-term sinus inflammation can lead to persistent postnasal drip.

• Symptoms may include nasal congestion, facial pressure, and thick phlegm.

7️⃣ Environmental Irritants 🏭

• Dust, chemicals, pollution, and strong fragrances can trigger mucus overproduction.

• Phlegm acts as your body’s defense mechanism to trap harmful particles.

8️⃣ Dehydration 💧

• Insufficient water intake can make mucus thicker and harder to clear.

• Drinking plenty of water helps thin the phlegm and makes it easier to expel.
