Throat Problem Posted: 10-10-05 20:55pm
I have the very same thing! It started
about two years ago, I was on a trip and
got very sick with a terrible chest cold,
lost my voice, and got that feeling in the
back of my throat like there is phlegm
stuck somewhere between my sinuses and my
throat. I try to swallow it but it
doesn't go down and I can't cough it up.
It has stayed, and I have had the same bad
cold, more like a bronchitis, where I can
cough up some mucus, but still the lump
feeling is there 4 more times since the
first. I went to two doctors and they
found nothing, but neither did any exrays
or put tubes down my nose to see what the
problem is. Some say it is acid reflux,
or bad post nasal drip, but I find that
hard to believe. I never had any
problems before that first time I got
sick. This is so annoying!

Are you talking about thrush, you might
check it outon the internet of course, I
am no Dr.,
good luck! Let us know what you find out.
I have had phlegm in my throat for years.
Never being a smoker, so that was
obviously not the problem. I would hack
every morning, sometimes I would actually
gag to the point of vomiting because of
the phlegm up so high in my throat.
Until one day I saw this documentary on
public tv. (tv ontario I think)
it was about a canadian male opera singer.
In one segment of this program, while
getting ready for his on stage
performance.
He mentioned that he always ate an apple
before every performance and muttered
something like
"apples the best phlegm cutter there is"
now when ever I have a problem I drink
apple juice it works for me.
I can't eat apples without peeling them.
Apple-skin makes my throat itchy and I
find it inconvenient peeling them.
But I think eating apples would work even
better, because apple would likely not go
down as quickly as juice would. (i don't
know maybe maybe not:)

Apples are supposed to be good in helping
acid reflux so I have been told, maybe
thats why the symptoms go ?????

Coughing Up Phlegm Posted: 07-31-06 08:10am
I was amazed to see how many people have
the same problem as me. I dont even smoke
and never have so I cannot understand what
is causeing this annoying ailment. I
was interested by the "apple cure" I will
certainly try it as I am getting really
tired of the same occurance every morning.
At least I can draw some small comfort
inasmuch that I am not alone with this,
mike
