Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query excessive phlegm build-up in throat means you are suffering from an ongiong upper airway infection then i recommend inhaling with hot steam, drinking a lot of non sugary fluid like water and tea and take in phlegm solving medication like acetylcystein or similar.

If this is going on longer time and there is no infection, it can be an allergy. Then i recommend doing allergy skin testing and if diagnose is prooven there is antihistamine medication available.

If you smoke it can also help your symptoms to stop/ reduce cigarette use if possible.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
