A member asked:
Could you explain why does my throat produce so much phlegm or slimy saliva?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Throat: Maybe allergies but most commonly its a sign of silent acid reflux or LPR. Many people get LPR from what they eat and others from the stomach. See an ENT to check it out.
