There is always sticky phlegm in the throat, which may be caused by postnasal drip syndrome, pharyngitis, reflux pharyngitis, and so on.
1. Postnasal drip syndrome: commonly found in patients with deviated nasal septum, chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, which can easily cause intranasal secretions to flow back into the pharynx, the pharyngeal mucous membrane long-term stimulation, resulting in mucous phlegm-like secretions adhering to the oropharynx, sometimes accompanied by pharyngeal foreign body sensation and other uncomfortable symptoms.
2. Pharyngitis: common in chronic pharyngitis, due to diffuse inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa, the posterior wall of the pharynx has a number of lymphoid follicles of varying sizes, stimulating the mucous glands to become hypertrophied and hyperactive, and repeatedly secrete mucous and phlegm-like foreign bodies, which are not easy to remove, sometimes accompanied by nausea, cough and other symptoms.
3. Reflux pharyngitis: gastric reflux, stimulation of the pharyngeal mucosa, easily caused by increased secretion of the glands, always feel the mouth secretions spit not clean.
To summarize, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time for clear diagnosis and treatment of oropharyngeal discomfort.
