Coughing up white sputum and feeling that the sputum is not coming out may be related to chronic pharyngitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Coughing up white sputum and always feeling that the sputum does not come out, the first consideration is caused by chronic pharyngitis. The typical symptom of chronic pharyngitis is the feeling of a foreign body in the throat, which is difficult to cough up. Due to the long-term effects of inflammation, and can cause a significant increase in secretions, then lead to such symptoms. In addition, it may also be caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a typical disease that can cause sticky sputum. Due to the blockage of the bronchial tubes in the lungs, the sputum secreted cannot be coughed out in time, which leads to the gradual thickening of the sputum, and timely treatment is needed to dissolve the sticky sputum. It is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, after examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and at the same time follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
