There is always phlegm in the throat, which may be caused by secretions from the nasal cavity, sinuses and nasopharynx and flowing through the back nostril to the throat.

In treatment, we should actively treat rhinitis, sinusitis and nasopharyngitis. Medication includes nasal irrigation, nasal spraying of glucocorticoid and oral mucus excretion promoting agent. In addition, because there are many sputum caused by the pathological changes in the throat itself, if the sputum is sticky, drugs such as Huatan Tablet and Mucosolvan can be used to dilute the phlegm.

Phlegm in the throat may also come from the lower airway, such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

If the sputum is sticky and yellow, oral antibiotics are needed. If there is bloodshot sputum, use fire-clearing drugs if necessary.
