Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have brownish phlegam at back of throat along with cold and sorethroat which is due to chronic upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to take throat lozenges and do warm saline gargles. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication Sinarest. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get throat swab test done and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
