I suffer from extreme amounts of phlegm as well and doctors always diagnose it as Post Nasal Drip and prescribed Nasonex, Fluticasone, and more recently Azelastine. The Azelastine is performing better than the Nasonex and Fluticasone....but only for the nasal stuffed cavities and drip - the phlegm is quite another issue - sticky and feels like cellophane sheet across my throat that I cannot clear as it seems caught between my throat and my esophagus while hacking and coughing to try an clear it out.

Hi Dino, I would like to make a suggestion. I am a retired Federal Police Officer and back in the late 1990's, ten of us officers were coming down with a lot of nasal drip which we assumed was stress or allergic reaction to something. After a lot of research, we decided to try "Cleansing" which you can purchase anywhere i.e. Walmart (the cheapest). We tried the 3 day and then 7 day. After which we then slowly introduced food back into our systems. I found after 1 month, that for me it was dairy (I eat a lot of eggs), chocolate and certain meats. Each one of us were different in what we ate and were allergic to. To this day, my body still reacts to the same foods. Try this homeopathic way first before trying any more medicines. Also try to eliminate as much of the stress in your life as possible. Good luck.

Have you talked to your doctor about using saline with a nebulizer? I nebulize 3% saline with 500 mg reduced glutathione. One to two times a day and this routine has made a world of difference for me and my quality of life. I can now sleep most of the night without feeling like I am drowning, and can cough up the thick phlegm. This was all collateral damage from chemo/radiation for head and neck cancer.
