Question 1

why do i get excessive phlegm when or after drinking soda?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Soda stimulates secretions whirpi so u get more phlegm

Question 2

i was drinking soda and suddenly i couldnt swallow it and it wouldnt go down or up it was just in my throat. i didnt cough or anything but after trying hard to swallow, it went down. how do i know if it went down the right pipe?

Accepted Answer

If not coughing: If not coughing and not having trouble breathing, then a person can assume she swallowed the soda down the correct pipe. If the soda went down the wrong pipe, a normal person would be coughing uncontrollably until the soda comes back out of the wrong pipe, or until the soda got neutralized or otherwise diluted so that it is no longer irritating to the lungs (that's where wrong-way soda goes).

Question 3

i started with left arm pain for about a month, later i had some neck tension for 2 days, then i had stomach ache, so i stopped drinking soda, a week later, i am having neck tension again and has been a week now of it, what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

: There can be many causes most commonly a neck sprain. Try some ibuprofen (on a full stomach) and local heat for a few days. If not better you will have to see a doc for exam and diagnosis

Question 4

am a 20 year old female,i don't drink nor smoke.i've observed for 5 days that the phlegm from my throat is black in colour only in the morning,?

Accepted Answer

Check filters: This could be due to unclean filters in your home's HVAC system. Your nose/lungs function to filter dust/debris that you inhale. Try this, and see if this symptom disappears.

Question 5

whenever i drink or eat dairy products after a few hours, i get somewhat phlegm and smell it down my throat. what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Reason: Phlegm is the thick, sticky mucus that drips down the back of your throat when you have a cold. Although drinking milk may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be, milk doesn't cause your body to make more phlegm. In fact, frozen dairy products can soothe a sore throat and provide calories when you otherwise may not eat.

Question 6

20 yer old female with small blisters on back of throat don't smoke or drink but always have a lot of phlegm,what could they be?

Accepted Answer

See ur doctor : Who may refer you to an ENT specialist , you need to be examined, cannot be managed online, best wishes

Question 7

after i eat or drink dairy i get a lot of phlegm in my throat and it take a few days to go away does it man i'm lactose intolerant?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Possible. Try elimination of dairy for a short period of time.
For definitive diagnosis, see an allergist.

Question 8

dark brown phlegm when i clear my throat / blow nose (1 week now). sometimes i get completely clear mucus. don't drink/smoke. no other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

May clear up: Many things can cause productive sputum and nasal drainage, including exposure to smoke or fumes, allergies and infections. But we have learned that most sinus infections and bronchitis do not need antibiotics, as they will almost always go away in a week or so. Especially with no other symptoms, waiting is a good option. If it persist another week or so, or more things happen, then be seen.

Question 9

what r possible reasons orange phlegm rising from my throat not via cough.. given my pd rx isn't source, nor is orange food/drink. do have emphysema?

Accepted Answer

Otolaryngologist: This substance may be a mixture of mucus, saliva with traces of blood and may be coming from the back of the nose, paranasal sinuses, mouth or throat since you're not coughing it up. It is not a symptom of emphysema and most likely is not coming from the bronchial tubes or lungs which would usually have an accompanying cough. I recommend that you have an exam by an otolaryngologist.

Question 10

i continually have phlegm in my throat as if i have a cold/ flu or something, and it builds up if i do not bring it up and spit it out. what can i do to reduce the phlegm, i drink tons of water daily,

Accepted Answer

Allergies.: That sounds like allergies.  Nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, facial pains and earache can be triggered by fragrances, dust mites, grass, trees, pets, environmental molds and such.  There are outdoor and indoor allergens.  OTC nasal steroid and nasal saline are worth a try.
