Extreme amounts of phlegm

Posted by proton @proton, Mar 5, 2019

I'd like to start a discussion about phlegm. I'm understating when I say that I have the world record amount of sticky phlegm. I throw up large quantities of phlegm about 2 to 4 times a day. I'm constantly blowing my nose with large quantities of phlegm. It's like I'm allergic to myself. Or suffer a horrible curse. I'm not sick. I've had this since birth. I'm desperate. It is very devastating to live this way. I've eliminated dairy 30 years ago and recently eliminated most sugars. I drink plenty of water. I'm 60. It comes out out my stomach, lungs and sinuses. Some day I will die while choking on my phlegm.
Can we start a discussion please. How can I stop all of this phlegm.

I've taken Cevimeline and Glycopyrrolate with mixed results.

I suffer the same. I find steaming over a hot pot of water helps a lot. I call it Industrial Disease. lol

Cevimeline is supposed to thin your saliva. Glycopyrrolate is used to control excessive drooling.

I suffer the same, the only thing that´s showing promise for me is scented oils, and trying not to drink anything shortly after coughing phlegm up

I started this some years ago and it was related to lichen planus. An immune system issue.

Lean over a pot of water over the stove, with a towel...(don't start a fire). I fixed my phlegm problem in 2 days this way. A few times a day. Viola!!!

I wish it were that easy. My phlegm is so much that it's coming from sinuses, stomach and lungs. I have to throw it up every morning. I wish there was a vitamin or some easy fix. But I dont think so
