Regarding all the above comments about bringing up a substance all day and removing it from the throat...I also can relate to all that. My confusion ,,,,,not definitively knowing if it is the mucus related to BE ....or....is it possibly a combination of phglem, saliva, bile etc. etc. As I have mentioned in the blog, I have a hiatal hernia (causing similar and same problems as acid reflux without regurgitation of food or heartburn)) which could also be a reason for the need to clear the throat all day.
Do any of you who need to clear the supposed mucus all day have either acid reflux or a hiatal hernia?

Yes, I also have a Hiatal Hernia and GERD.
Have just increased medication for GERD and it has reduced reflux but still coughing.

Hi,
Last September I had Covid and an influenza in November. I kept coughing and spitting phlegm more and more. While in Florida, I was hospitalize in Florida for 3 days and they put me on intravenous antibiotics for 2 days thinking I had a multi focal pneumonia but the pneumologist said I didn’t have a pneumonia. I was coughing so much and spitting phlegm white sputum. They didn’t know if it wasn’t Gerd. That was in April then we came to Canada where my lung doctor took over. He did a broncoscopy and it is much better. We are waiting for the lab result. Because I’m still coughing he will do a gastroscope to find out if the bile or bacteria create that phlegm. It is about 60% better but we need the result. I will keep you posted.
