Hello,
Phlegm at the back of throat would have come from the nose .
You can use a normal saline nasal sprays or the nasal wash , to clear the nose , sometimes the dust gets accumulated and so the infection occurs and the phlegm is formed and then it trickles down the throat to cause irritation.
Then you should get done a ent consultation and nasal endoscopy for proper examination of the nose and so that further treatment can be planned.
