Having frequent phlegm in your throat can be uncomfortable and annoying. Many people believe it\u2019s always due to a cold, but the reality is that there are several reasons why the body produces excess mucus.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you constantly have to clear your throat, pay attention to these possible causes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Why does the body produce phlegm?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mucus is a natural substance that the body produces to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Protect the airways<\/span><\/li>\n
  • To trap dust, bacteria, and viruses<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Keep mucous membranes moist<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The problem arises when its production increases.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Most common causes of persistent phlegm<\/span><\/h2>\n

    1. Allergies<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Dust, pollen, mites, or pet hair can cause excessive mucus production.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Associated symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Sneezing<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Nasal itching<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Teary eyes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      2. Gastric reflux<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Stomach acid can rise to the throat and irritate it, causing a constant feeling of phlegm, even without a cough.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Other signs:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Burning sensation in the chest<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Bitter taste in the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Frequent throat clearing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        3. Sinusitis<\/h3>\n

        When the sinuses become inflamed, mucus can drain down into the throat (postnasal drip).<\/span><\/p>\n

        It can be accompanied by:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Congestion<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Facial pain<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Headache<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          4. Changes in climate or dry air<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Cold or very dry air can irritate the airways and stimulate more mucus production.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
