Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of cold and cough with persistent phlegm in throat which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection or poor immunity of body. It could be due to eustachian tube dysfunction as well. Need not to worry. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages. Avoid intake of sharp spicy food. You should apply mist humidifiers in room and take throat lozenges. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should maintain oral hygiene. Do warm saline gargles. You can go for blood and sputum tests as well. You should take proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
