Chronic Phlegm Collecting in my throat, I constantly have to swallow

@mariego I have seen both specialists--ENT & Gastro. Each blames the other. I had a swallow test and it showed no issues. I had my gallbladder removed--years ago--and tonsils/adenoids as well. Sinus surgery and deviated septum, too. I do have reflux but nothing that requires ongoing meds--did try reflux meds for awhile to see if it helped; it did not. I surrender!

@leehowder98 I'm so sorry. I know where you're at! I hope you can get some answers. My situation is decidedly GI in origin, but still few suggestions for management over the past 18 months. Finally, I found a gastroenterologist who would see me in person and not relegate my care to a PA or NP. I saw him for the first time last week and I have an egd scope in a few weeks. I'm cautiously optimistic, more accurately, cautiously skeptical, that there is something to be done to improve quality of life. But, thats a different problem! Good luck! I'm rooting for you!
