Hi.
A few of us at work often have Phlegm stuck in our throat for months at end.
It’s not mucas or anything that is spat out. More of an irritation & we often have to constantly cough to clear our throat esp when talking.
A whole bunch of doctors say various reasons mostly due to allergies.
None of us have been successful with different meds.
Has anyone Experienced this and can give advice. ?
Thank you.
Happened to me when I moved back last year. I’d guess it was New Taipei City air pollution.
Now, I live in the SE corner near Taitung. No problem at all.
Might help to regularly gargle with salt water.
Or get a tin of this Japanese powder. A little expensive but quite effective for many throat conditions.
It’s been around like a hundred years. I always keep it in the house.
Any pharmacy will have it.

Oh wow, must have been passed down to you through a few generations, then?
Good one.
But been using it since the early 80s in Korea.
Different tin though.
Check the temp., humidity and condition of the aircon system at work.
I know you said docs, but have you been to a good ENT clinic?
It could be a symptom of GERD.
Thx for the tips guys.
Funny enough I have GERD and just about everything is a symptom of GERD. Thx.
Avoid beers and stick to whisky and other spirits instead. No ice.
Could be a bunch of reasons from pollution to allergies to simply just accidentally inhaling water. It’s annoying as heck but unfortunately not a whole lot can be done about it.
I think musinex type medication do help in clearing up throat mucus which might cut down on the irritations that cause you to cough all the time. I hate coughing because everyone starts getting scared like you have COVID or something, even if the coughing is the result of allergies.
