What Causes Excessive Phlegm Production In Throat At Night?
I never get a good nights sleep because of excessive phelm coming up in throat all night. I can use a hankerchef during night and it will be soaked from phelm . When I eat food it feels like its getting stuck in my throat. Back of my left throat feels like something is poking me and the back of my head hurts alot. My doctor says he thinks I have gerd and the medcine don t seem to help much. Under my jaw and up near my ear has pain also. The phelm that comes up in my mouth is white and taste very salty
Hello You may have a bacterial bronchitis if the phlegm is white, so I would treat you with a course of antibiotics but I would also screen you for an H pylori stomach infection since that could also be causing your symptoms
