What Causes Excess Phlegm On Throat Plus A Coating On Tongue?
my mother has yellow sticky phlegm stuck on throat and cheeks of mouth..also a coating of tongue...no pain or fever but she clears her throat all the time. Doc did a swab and no infection, she said it feels like there is a ball of something in her throat

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be just allergic condition and this is nothing to worry ask your mother to drink more water, have a hot drink, steam inhalation, it would be fine soon no need to give her any medicine, hope this information helps, take care.
