Hello,
there could be 3 reasons for the balgum or phlegm.
1 . infection in lungs-- could be allergic also
2. nasal infection or secretions --the secretions fall at the back of nose into the airway and cause irritation and spread of infection. If you have nasal allergic condition then this could be a cause
3. reflux disease ie reflux of food contents from stomach into food pipe.acid reflux causes irritation in the throat and excessive mucus production which needs to be coughed out.
Get an ent consultation done to rule out the 2 and 3 cause . and an Chest x ray to rule out infection in the lungs.
Then further management can be planned.
In doubt do reply.
