@nylrehs79- There can be many, many reasons to have phlegm buildup without a cough. I have it. My mother's side all said that they had the .... drip! Have you been tested to see if you have any infections or other problems that could be causing this? Do you plan to see a doctor?

Thanks, @merpreb, for this excellent link! With chronic bronchitis diagnosed by my pulmonologist and the excessive mucus that often comes with it, I've followed most of the recommendations listed in the medicalnewstoday article.

Using a Neti-Pot nasal saline solution along with Alkalol Solution Original Nasal Wash, has provided great relief. The one thing I hadn't considered was that certain foods, in addition to dairy, might trigger more congestion. Just wondering if there are other food groups that might produce more mucus production for some?
